When Someone We Know Dies

There is no cure for the sorrow we feel (It’s one reason that we cry) no antidote for the pain when someone we know dies. We immediately wonder why her…why now… how we would have loved just one more day one more moment… one more memory when someone we know passes away… Our mind flashes back to certain moments… wonderful memories we linger on as the joy we feel for having known her mixes with the sadness that she’s gone. Our memory happily jumps back and forth. We give thanks she was ever sent to us and we hope and pray she understood everything she ever meant to us. We couldn’t have created a better friend If we had planted seeds ourselves then grown her and we know our lives will never be the same and we are better people…having known her. So we are content to grieve a moment… knowing in our hearts she wouldn’t mind… knowing the sadness we feel today will acquiesce to the joy she left behind… Yes, today we’ll allow sorrow to envelop us we’ll linger in our tears a while knowing in the future every time we think of her with every memory… we’ll smile.
