I think that it will be difficult for others to travel to Aus due to the covid thing and also distances.
At this time, just take things as they come and do what you have to do. You are right, as every day things will indeed get better.
Just in general, stay positive, even if you are crying inside, as you have to be strong for others.
Continue to talk to us here in order to get the emotions healed and whatever you do, don't clam up.
I buried both of my parents and my younger sister and also others close to me, the mistake I made was to keep all of the hurt inside myself. It took me many years to heal.
I am writing this directly from my heart in true compassion for you guys and all of the family. Marian also sends her condolences.
Thank you sir, for your kind words and wisdom.
It has been nice the way the Community has reacted; I almost didn't post about it, but felt that it may provide me a bit of a release, which it has. I will also still be doing my #weekend-engagement post on Friday as usual. It will provide me a place to retreat to when things get heavy here.
Thanks again for your message.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there; I did not die.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich, American editor, 1836-1977
What a nice poem. Thanks for sharing that!
My pleasure to share it with you my friend.
Very fitting at this point in time methinks.
Take care!
I may incorporate some of it into the remembrance card. Thank you.
Could maybe give a better insight to others my friend.
I sent it to you and Faith, as it has such a great meaning to me.
Glad that you appreciated it and we continue in prayers for you guys!
Thank you sir. You show great quality. I'm not surprised. 🙂
