Family

The following days will be quite a chore. You will find pieces of heart all over the floor. Be mindful these days and watch where you step. We’ll slowly pick them up because they have to be kept. Our family blood is our binding glue. It will keep us together and there is nothing we can’t do. Remember one fact, you are never alone. New members will arrive in blood, muscle and bone. You will always be loved, both here and beyond. Our family is strong and this love is our bond. In death we might part, but just for a time. Keep your focus on life and that hill you still climb. The death of our loved ones will always bring pain. Please lean on your family, they will help ease the strain. Life can be short, try not to bicker and fight. Our family is all that’s important, at the end of each night.

Co-incidence Mark, I also posted a poem about family - it is my most recent post. You are so right, family is so special, children, parents and grandparents are like a cocoon, so close and yet fragile, keep the love warm always! Hugs and blessings Mark, Jennifer.

I feel the sorrow in these words. They spill from your heart, Mark. It's a devastating blow to a family when a loved one dies, but it always hits the hardest during the holidays.
