Feeling a bit heavy hearted. It was on this weekend last year that we had Shiloh's celebration of life event. Miss him as much as ever; the Love never goes away. And we wouldn't ever want it to. Yet the free-spirited joy of life is always tinged with the presence of sorrow.

Today also marks 25 years since my mother's death, and 40 years since Wil's father's death. And! 26 years ago today our great-niece, Jillian, was born. Next month will mark 10 years since her death (she was hit by a car at age 16).

DeleteSo, lots to hold today.
And let go.
An apt quote. Susan
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteThat quote was posted by Shiloh's younger daughter the week he died! She was 15 at the time, and it blew me away.
DeleteIt is perfect. Susan
DeleteA smart and thoughtful youngster, that one.
