Still Missing You |

Picture by Josephine Wall * * * I feel at peace in these surroundings as memories of you come to mind. I write my thoughts on paper as I pause to watch the birds in my garden. They chatter amongst themselves and bathe in the birdbath before they take to the skies. It's been nearly six years since you left me, and I still bear the scars of losing you. Pain and sorrow are my constant companions, yet I don't let them defeat me.I must remain strong. I deal with my grief by writing, as I share my deepest feelings with those who are far in distance yet so very close at heart. I often wonder if you help to guide my pen as I write and I wonder what you would have thought of me as a writer. I pursue my love of writing with great endeavour as I reach out to others in the hope that my words may encourage and inspire them. You will always remain with me in spirit and though my life has moved on without you, my heart will never mend. * * * "The best way to meet the loss of someone we love is by knowing that when we truly love, it is never lost. It is only after death that the depth of the bond is truly felt, and our loved one becomes more a part of us than was possible in life" I am in motion |

its a connection that goes beyond the physical world, since we truly are all just spirits living in a material world |

Sue, perhaps he is guiding your hand! For sure someone from Up There is! I also believe that we can become even closer to loved ones who are now in spirit than when they were in the flesh. Love is timeless. God bless you both. Linda |

Sue, I lost my brother in 1980. To this day, I miss him. We were very close. I was just thinking of him the other day. |
