I thought there would be more time.
That the tomorrows would line up patiently,
waiting for us to catch up to them.
I thought there would always be another hug,
another quiet moment to sit beside you,
another chance to say the words
I assumed you already knew.
But time doesn’t warn us when it’s about to change.
It doesn’t tap us on the shoulder or ask if we’re ready.
One day everything feels ordinary…
and the next, the ordinary becomes a memory. 🤍
If I had known how precious those moments were,
I would have held you longer.
Not the quick kind of hug —
but the kind where you don’t let go,
where you memorize the feeling,
where you try to press love into the moment
so it lasts forever.
I would have said “I love you” again and again,
not because you needed to hear it,
but because my heart needed to say it
as many times as it could.
Now there are words left unsaid
and hugs that live only in memory.
There is love with nowhere to go,
except into the quiet ache of missing you. 🌧️
And still, love doesn’t disappear.
It stays — in the soft places.
In the silence.
In the moments when the heart remembers
what the hands can no longer hold.
So if you’re reading this and someone you love is near,
hold them a little tighter.
Say the words out loud.
Don’t save love for later.
Because later is not promised —
but love, when given freely,
stays forever. 🕯️🐻

Planning Ahead: The Importance of Pre-Need Arrangements

At HigginbothamFuneralHome, we recognize the sensitivity of discussing end-of-life plans. Nevertheless, taking the time to make pre-need arrangements can provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

Pre-need planning enables you to make informed decisions about your funeral services in advance, ensuring that your wishes are respected and alleviating the burden on your family during a difficult time.

Here are a few key benefits of pre-need arrangements:

Personalization: You can tailor your services to reflect your unique life and values, creating a meaningful tribute for your loved ones.

Financial Peace of Mind: Locking in today’s prices can help protect your family from rising costs in the future.

Emotional Relief: By making your wishes known, you can ease the emotional burden on your family, allowing them to focus on celebrating your life rather than making difficult decisions.

Support and Guidance: Our compassionate team is here to guide you through the process, answering any questions, and helping you make informed choices.

We invite you to reach out to us at Higginbotham Funeral Home to learn more about our pre-need services. Planning ahead is a thoughtful gift to your family, ensuring that your legacy is honored just as you envision.

No one is immune to the pain of grief, but it's a reflection of the love we've known. If you have breath in your body and have experienced the beauty of loving another person, you will grieve when they're no longer with us. Since we grieve because we loved, we can be both broken and courageous. One does not cancel out the other but co-exists with us. If this is you today, be kind and gentle with yourself, even if it means one breath at a time.
