When someone we love is taken away in death our heart aches, and our soul feels hollow. Our world stops cold as we grieve. It seems unfathomable that life around us continues on as usual... uninterrupted...untouched by the void, unscathed. We long so to have our loved one near...we sometimes catch a glimpse of their face amid a sea of strangers....their voice echoes in our ears....All of the things we loved about them seems within our grasp, and yet...so very far away. But they truly do live on...All that they were in life is etched forever in our hearts, shaping our lives, our souls, our future....in the things they believed, the things they loved, and the bouquet of memories they have left in our hearts...to savor, to absorb, to sweeten our days.... Living on through our lives and others whose souls they touched. ~Julie Schwartz "Verify I say unto thee. Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." Luke 23:43 |
