5year Reflection.

5 – Fall through Summers have come and gone. There was a day not so long ago that I did not think I could get through A seaaon without you here. But I have, because looking back I see I did grief right, right for me. I sat in the grief for years, I let it consume me, I let it pick me up and drop me again, I let it challenge me, I let it scare me- being without a root. It forced me to look at the past, reflect on my life with you, all the great memories we had. I also found a way to forgive you and myself for the parts of it when we lacked understanding and empathy for one another. Realizing now that we were both trying to find our way and at the end of it all, our love and respect for each other was genuine.

I see it better now, how much your life has taught me. I see now how many situations make more sense. I see the lessons you were trying to teach. I see the lessons now through the rises and falls. From it all, finding an unwavering strength to face anything, a fearlessness in any situation and a confident advocate using my voice.

What I do know for sure is that I carry you with me daily. I hear you and see you soar around me. The birds deliver the messages often, bringing Love, Kindness and Awareness.

Miss you, and know that Ogni Giorno Che passé e Al Modo Mio

Ti Amo
