LIFE IS LIKE A PUZZLE

The puzzle

Who likes puzzles?
Well I do and I am doing this Hannah Montanna puzzle with Gabby while Emmy was
sleeping. This was one of the many gifts that my mom bought for her for starting school.
Gabby asked me if I was interested in doing a puzzle with her (how can I say no) not really, so I was brave and said “sure, I love too.” Mind you that she made me watch the Cheetah one world movie: we had to be in front of the TV at 8 pm.
The movie was pretty good “shhhh I didn’t say that, ok.”
Back to the puzzle, we sat down at the table and I put my Blog music on really low, not to wake up the baby since she finally was sleeping; so, we started the puzzle with the borders then we try to complete the center. I was listening to the music and started to cry looking at this puzzle. Now, I have nothing against Hannah Montana and it is not normal for me to cry over a puzzle, but I was thinking of Audrey, Luke and there families, thinking life is like a puzzle, it can be put together with pieces and then it can be taken apart so fast; guess what, you have to try again and again specially since one of the pieces can go missing, get lost or it was never inside the box to begin with. How do we know?
Just remember that the puzzle will never be completed with missing pieces.
This was happening last night, Gabby got frustrated and went to bed but before finishing the puzzle but before she left she said “I love your selection of music and that song about a storm is so true like our lives” I asked what she meant and she said “we might be in a storm but God will guide us through and will always make it better, ok”

Reality check! Or as Emeril will say “”””””BAMMM”””””””

This is my 8 year old (I pinched myself) I smiled at her I said, “you are so right my pumpkin. Go-ahead go to sleep and I’ll finish it for you and surprise you ok, I promise. Ok, freaking out I just opened my mouth and said I would finish it for her I was shocked. We were so close to the end however I could not do the jacket on that Hannah chick.I had some words for her, Gabby went to sleep and I was trying to finish the puzzle and I contemplated on all the events that happened today:
I laughed with my kids today, I mean, Emma is starting to talk, she amazes me with what comes out of her mouth and besides that she sounds like a mouse, (Minnie mouse is her all time favorite.) My mom bought her a baby today, it was the first time that Emma got so exited about a toy, by exited I mean, she started to hug it, sing to it and put the baby to sleep. She did the LA LA LA thing, she was so CUTE. My mom and I started laughing and Emma approach my mom, hit her leg, stared at her and said “SHHHH, baby nite-nite.” She turned again to face the baby and said “ stay, bye bye” and she left the living room. My mom and I just stared at each other in amazement.
Everything today became moments in time that where worth saving, a mental picture, BLINK!
I recall when gabby and I were watching the movie that she was teaching me all
about “Bollywood” stuff that she had learned from previews and segments that during the week were airings on the Disney Channel.
I started thinking that everything is a learning experience, why get upset about the puzzle missing pieces? We need to learn to adapt and overcome, Be thankful of all the things that we have since they can be taken away, go missing in a fraction of a second.
Like the Good book says “The LORD will give and will take away”
We cannot question the Lord.
He is in complete control.
We need to trust in him and just go with it.
For those who have lost a precious one we can only say to trust in the lord and that you will be reunited and we pray "Lord, make something beautiful out of all this suffering..."
