The Lights That Guide…
This morning has been letting my emotions flow through me and letting the hard truth set in that when I leave tomorrow evening that it will be the last time I will see my dad as he is now. The next time will be when it’s the end..and that truth..that pain it sits heavy in your chest and the pit of your stomach like nothing else will.
It doesn’t matter how old you are watching your parents life be stolen by time that does not slow down is the hardest thing to ever watch,and do. Holding space for others in this moment is sacred and yes you will feel it, but you know that deep down you needed it and so did they.
Time slows for no one
Pain and sadness are emotions that become all to familiar
To see their light fading
Hurts
It hurts deep
No matter how much their are wishes
Wishes of a different outcome
Wishes of getting them better
Reality knocks on your heart,
And says sit with me…
It reminds you the time is fleeting,
And as much as we wish to stop time.
It doesn’t and we have face a world
Where one voice we’ve known since birth..
Is silent and a cherished memory…
So we hold onto every memory,every story, every photo of them,
To never loose those memories when that’s all we have left once their light becomes a star in the sky…
Their hug,their voice, their love is all we have left.
This humbles you and teaches you that precious moments are all around and to not ignore them. To grab them and hold onto to them with everything you have. As those are etched in places of your heart that never let go.
