i recieved the news yesterday that my children's paternal grandmother died. It is not the first death that has touched their lives. They have said "goodbye" to both my parents. But each "goodbye" brings a deep abiding sadness .. a realization that life is fragile and fleeting. A hard lesson for those young and full of life. It is a sad time for my girls... for my "ex" family...... for me too... another goodbye...
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope the wonderful memories you all have of her will outweigh the sadness.
ReplyDeleteIt is my belief that, as we share the passages of life, we affirm and strengthen one another. So it is that I am convinced that each joining in love affirms all of us that make that journey, each birth of a child reminds us of the wonder of life's beginning gift... Too, death is a reminder for us all of our momentariness and our fragileness. Tonight, your sharing of your sadness, reminds us to hold tight to those we love best. May peace be with all your family tonight as your remember...
