Well hello! My name is Kadie, pleased to meet ya!
I'm a shy girl from Alaska, though I grew up in California and Kansas. I love blogging. It's like I'm writting my own history! I also love sewing, crafting, photography, and a touch of fashion! So come and read about my crazy life.
One special thing I get to do everyday is serve families who have lost loved ones. Yep, I work at a funeral home and the hubs (Daniel) is a mortician.
I know you guys are thinking, "This girl is crazy! She works with dead people?!"
Let me tell ya, it's got to be the most rewarding job EVER!
It's such a blessing to serve people in such a time of need.
When I was 15 I lost my brother. He was 16 days old. I never thought
life would go on. I thought I would have a hole in my heart
forever.

I remember the funeral directors then being so kind and compassionate to my family
in our time of need. Working in a funeral home I often think about that
terrible time in my own life. I put myself
in these families shoes and know I have to do everything I can to make
their loss more bearable.
It is never easy to lose a loved one whether it is expected or not.
Knowing that I am there for these families, that if need be I can be a shoulder to cry on
lessens my burdens and helps me think of someone other than myself.
And that, my dears, is why I love my job.
Time has gone by and the hole in my heart is slowly being filled.
I like to think that for each person I have helped
they are filling that hole and making life more bearable for me.
