I may not see you in the chair next to me but I feel your presence with me.
I may feel the loss of you so deeply and I honour it but I feel the love more powerfully as you guide me on. I may at times forget the greatest gift of faith you have taught me and be overcome with each wave of pain in my heart , but I know you are there supporting me reminding me, so I don’t fall. I could never count the tears that still fall as I know they could fill the ocean a trillion and more times, yet still…you hand me a life line and say ” I’m here”.
You may not be in that chair but i know you are alive and well. Time stops being an enemy, grief does become softer and life becomes meaningful again as you show me the magic and help me to experience the miracle of your life that does continue…we journey together and my heart hurts but it sings with every hug I feel from you , every ” I love you ” I feel and my gratitude surpasses the grief. The universe is so much more than an empty chair, and you are my hero. I wont keep losing you I will keep listening to you.
