Of Sorrow and Love

Sorrow reminds me that never again shall we see another day together.
Love reminds me that I shall never wake having not been changed by the ones we did.   – Kimberly Cleven

   Thinking today of the sadness of loved ones who have lost people so dear. I can’t make it better. I can’t wish it away, and I can’t even bring meaning to the tragic ends. I can love them though. I can remind them that while nothing lives forever, the lucky ones do change things for better and those changes will ripple through our lives and those we touch in the future and that in some ways our loved ones never truly leave us.

Love is not something I can see between us, but I know it is there. It does not matter if your 10 feet away, or 10 miles, or 10,000 miles. I know it is there. So this is how I know that beyond death it is still there as well. I don’t know where you are, but I still love you, and that will not change. Your love lives on and it will change more than we can know. I am better for having known you.

    This is just beautiful. It really hit home for me and I’m crying right now.
    I have lost SO many people this year but no matter how much I miss them, there will never be a day that my life isn’t better because I knew them.
    Thanks for posting ( now I better go grab the tissues)
