Sometimes there are no words. Instead the silent tears erupted pouring down cheeks, tissues trying to stop the flow before anyone noticed. I don't understand which words preceded them, only that the softness of the eulogy and being among caring relatives of his, brought forth regret of the past events that will lead to not belonging anymore. It rained today in many ways, and I don't think he noticed or realized my tears as he stood next to me singing Amazing Grace. I could recall every word to every hymn though it has been years since we were together for a service. Memories well up easily, all of them good. All of them to touch me in places where he no longer does. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Great feeling in this that is often prevalent after two separate, that is for sure. I think women truly do love part of someone forever with their hearts, even though their head says sometimes to just, "get out of Dodge." I liked this one a lot Maureen. |

"Memories well up easily, all of them good. All of them to touch me in places where he no longer does." Poignant and so well done. |

I am not sure who the last "he" refers to, the person next to you (my first guess) or the deceased (or perhaps the two were the same, metaphorically/spiritually). Tears, hugs, courage, strength and rainbows. - Owl |
