Crying for Life
Six months of tears flowing. Pain, joy, fear and hope have all come out in the same way. While crying seems sad it is actually the start of new life. Real feelings being felt instead of buried; being acknowledged, released, and hopefully accepted. Cleansing water, rolling softly down the cheek. Powerful; unstoppable; without warning overcoming.
Vulnerability allows opportunity. Not certainty, but the only real chance of moving to where life goes. New beginnings, renewed love and laughter are watered to grow. Letting go and flowing together. Crying for life. Loving life. Living life.

My Dad
One year ago you joined Mom again, for life everlasting. We have missed you greatly and we have carried on together. Many first times without you were sad, yet you still bring a smile to our hearts every time we think of you. Your voice is still heard often, especially when we need your wisdom. Your laugh and smile are still in each of us, helping us handle life’s confusion, pain and mystery. Your warmth still soothes us; your strength keeps us feeling secure; and your positive spirit helps us soar.
For me, our friendship continues on with feelings deep in my heart. I do wish I could talk to you face to face, or by phone as we often did. I do wish I could hug you and be hugged by you again. Well, some day my Dad. For now, we party on……
Love,
