I have met so many wonderful, heartbroken people, who honor those who have departed.
For some they bend their knees in the privacy of prayer and meditation. For others, they might choose to walk the beach, the sound of the surf singing them a love song. Some prefer to play music, light candles, or simply sit and spin tells of days gone by. I have seen beautiful tattoos remembering the deceased. I have listened to heart filled music, stood in front of photo essays, watched doves released in flight. The list is endless.
Please share some ideas you have, or some moments you created to honor your loved ones.
I would love to hear from you.
It still hurts after 5 years loosing my best friend and cousin. The way I remember him is that he was the best mechanic so when I take my truck to a mechanic I would say to myself Danny is it true at what they are saying. When I smell motor oil. I go Hi Danny thank you for the visit. Even harder not being able to hear his voice anymore.
One place I don't find peace is at the cemetery. For some reason, it's not the most comforting places for me. On the parkway driving to no where with great music is where I find peace alot of the time.
I love going through old photo's, trinkets, cards. I find comfort in their handwritten notes to me. I put silly little things that mean the world to me on my desk, so I'm always reminded of them. Silly, but it works for me.
