Just 12 days after my Joshie passed away and 2 days after he was laid to rest, my niece Jordan went on to join him. He made a way for her, and for that, I'm grateful. Today's the day of her viewing. Her funeral will be on Friday. Vaughn Greene Funeral Home on York Rd. has been amazing to us. Of course, we are also grateful for all of the family and friends who have shown up to support and help us through this trying time. This whole thing is just so surreal... life is precious. Don't take your life or anyone else's for granted. You might not have a tomorrow to talk to loved ones that you are pushing away. Be good to one another. Lead with love. 💜🦋💙👑🌟🕊🙏🏽🌍 Just show up.

3 days after my son Joshua passed away... life goes on. You gotta smile even when your heart is breaking. I make it a point to consciously dive into the pool of grief, so that I can live my life with joy and hope. I attribute my resilience to my faith in God and my deep yoga and Feldenkrais practices. Y'all think it's a game??? This stuff really works. IJS...
I was unable to attend the event that day with everyone, because it just would have been too much. We worked hard on planning it for months. But I wore my veggie dress, strawberry and strawberry hair cips anyway. Y'all held it down for real. Big thanks for that... 📸 my dad@thierrybutler
