Remembering
Though you are no longer here in flesh your presence surrounds me still.
It's in the earth that I freely walk on during hikes to the mountains.
It's in the wind that blows through my hair as I luxuriate in peaceful conversations with friends and family.
It's in the flames of the fires that I roast marshmallows on.
It's in the earth, wind, fire and all other earthy freedoms I take for granted on this Memorial weekend and every other day. Freedoms that kept you in chains of loss.
To say thank you would not fully honor those losses so instead I say, I remember you all and all you did for me today and every day.
