This is from my favourite author, for all those who have lost a loved one, it’s a wound that never totally heals. This goes out to you; I know this feeling all too well ❤️

I sit here thinking about the last time I saw your smiling face.

I try to picture your expression, hear your voice and think back to our conversation.

Tears stream down my face as the images of you flash through my mind..memories of you overwhelm my emotions in those moments.

I’m caught in that place between disbelief and sadness and my heart hurts in a way that I don’t know that I’ve ever felt.

I look at my phone and read your last words to me and I wipe away the tears.

I wish I tried to see you more, call you more, tell you that I loved you more.

I fight back the feelings of guilt as I think about the past..and you.

I can’t believe that I can’t call you and hear your voice.

I can’t believe your happy smile won’t greet me anymore when I come to visit.

Part of me won’t believe that you’re gone, that I’ll never be able to hug you again, hear you laugh or spend time with you again.

It’s a hard thing when someone you love dearly is gone.

I don’t know that I’ll be able to make peace with it for a while, but that’s part of the process, I guess.

Maybe I’ll never know why some are gone too soon and that’s okay.

The best thing I can do is live my life in a way that would make you proud and honor your legacy.

To let love be part of who I am.

Still, it hurts knowing that I’ll never hug you, hold your hand or see your smile again.

One day, dear one, we will meet again.

And next time, I’m never letting you go.

See you then.

Know that you’re in my heart, always.

@Flutterbug9 Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

[Mustang67]

@Flutterbug9 I definitely relate to the progress line. 

[Mustang67]

Good morning @Dreamy I am not doing too bad. I still have a few niggly pains from my surgery and can't drive yet, which is getting a bit frustrating, as I want to see my daughter. 

How are things progressing for you?
