"The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone." - Harriett Beecher Stowe
You never realize how quickly death can come and how omnipresent it is until someone you know passes suddenly. And it gives you pause to think about all the things you would change, the things left unsaid and the actions left undone. The fences you would mend and and the hurts you would apologize for or try to make amends over. The petty grievances in your life that are just that, petty and so unnecessary. Because you realize that the opportunity for all of these things can be gone in an instant.
I understand that you may not be ready or scared to take an action. Or that it may not be possible for you to contact someone whom you need to offer a healing word to right now. That's ok, sometimes we have to work ourselves up to these things or circumstances may be beyond our control. So for today, I offer my blog to everyone as a way to say what you need to say. Whether it's acknowledging someone who has passed and telling them how much they meant to you, a hurt you need to heal or a pledge to take an action. Today, this space belongs to all of you. Feel free to use the comments section below to say what you need to say.
May God Bless you on your journey. And for all those who have passed, eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and may the Perpetual Light shine upon them.
