What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, you may not understand why your love one left this earth so soon, or why they left before you were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, you begin to remember not just that they died but that they lived. And that their life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
