A quick and endless year...

If anything can be learned in this year that has passed, it is to appreciate who and what you have in every waking moment. Life as you know it can change in an instant. Just like that.

Believe and have faith in your own strength and the strength of those around you. You will need it. Be gracious and better appreciate the words of others as they are spoken to you. Speak thoughtfully. Love deeply and truly. Find purpose. Be compassionate and understanding. Help a healing soul. It can heal yours as well. Laugh. Cry. Hurt. Feel. Heal. We are all in this beautiful horrendous mess called life until our time on this earth has come to an end. This is when we will go on forever. In the hearts and thoughts of the ones we leave behind.

Almost a year ago an angel got his wings. He cradles his child. His face, his voice, and his touch is missed but his presence is felt always. It is surrounding. Forever and always in our hearts, our thoughts and our prayers. You are missed. May God bless and keep you always. xo

And when your world has come crashing down upon you...

You are left to feel the heartache, the change, and the pain. Know that you are not alone. It is a vibration. It is resounding. We feel it too. No one can know your pain, although, it is felt. It too, is surrounding. Through your every laugh, your every cry, your every emotion. It is felt, without any words.

What, where, who, and how are all questions we have answers to. WHY? There may never be an answer. It is the most significant of all. Yet, the only one that goes unexplained. We walk through life unknowing and questioning. Our beliefs, our faith and our own strength. Just when we feel our life has taken a path, our feet steady on the ground. In one fleeting moment, it is shaken. The ground is moved from beneath us. Disturbed. Some are left her to mend wounds, and some are taken from this earth. From us. For reasons we will never know. Until our day has come. Find comfort in that one day you will know. When you are at peace. Reunited.

Here we are left to pick up the pieces. To try and put this maddening puzzle back together again. Except this time, one piece is missing. Another mis-shapen, and another broken. Again, I say, mend, heal, feel. To laugh and to cry and to try for a better day. We are left. Shattered. We try for a better hour, a better minute, a better second.

Know and believe that your strength and courage is empowering. Not only to you, but to those who surround you. Our faith in you will never fade, will never cease to exist. Here you stand. If you fall, look for my hand. There it will be. Just in arms reach. I will help you up and he will carry you. Remember, only half a step behind. Right there with you. He moves behind you. Forever and always. In all ways. Carry your love with you always, as he carries you.Cherish it. Miss it.

It has already been a year. Only a year. A blink, yet, an eternity. We move forward. We move on. carrying him with us. Your faith, our hope and strength will carry us through. We never forget. Be thankful. Be gracious and be kind. Be extremely happy and be extremely sad. His presence is a present from above. Here he is. With you. Forever and always. Faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
