I&#8217;m sure most of you get a little excited about this change in the season&#8230;it sure seems like nature is reminding us that life goes on, no matter what. The first Spring I experienced without Morgan was like a slap in the face&#8230;it was hard for my heart to understand how life could continue on, without a hitch, when Morgan was no longer a part of this life. The pain was immeasurable. Now, after 7 + years, I understand a lot more &#8211; doesn&#8217;t mean the pain is any less, it just means I understand how and why life continues on, Spring brings forth new life, and the lives we have lost are not ever really gone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Wishing you all a wonderful and bright Spring \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Picture above was taken by Morgan Jennifer Ingram in 2011 Today is the first day of Spring &#8211; it is the Spring Equinox (also called the March equinox or vernal equinox).
