I can't imagine the pain that either of you feel. The worry and the sadness gets to be heavy I'm sure. Unfortunately I don't know the right words to say to make it better, but I do know that you are awesome in how you spend your lives... "together".
I once was told that God gives us 2 gifts in this life: memory and understanding. I often like to think of this when I think about my own demise.
I realize that I was truly blessed to have the understanding I have had in this life, and I also am grateful to have the memories that "I know" have truly been lived. When I'm gone I will still be inside of the people that I had those memories with. It makes me comforted to know I'm still a part of their lives.
Again, I don't know much to say other than I'm lucky to know your story and happy to be small part of those memories too. I think you both are awesome in how you are "living" your life on this earth!
And it is a beautiful poem and post, Lynn a tribute to you love for Brian!
'Memory and understanding'...I will remember that when I'm in the middle of one of my toddler tantrums wondering 'why'! Brian always worries about not having a legacy (my kids are from a previous marriage; although our boys totally see him as their dad) and I try to assure him that the memories carry on in others...I think your words finally solidified that for him, so for that, I am eternally grateful!
You are a 'true' soul Dave, I'm honoured that you feel so "lucky to know our story"; you have now become a part of that story and I really hope one day we have some 'real life memories' with you here in Playa.
Finally, thank you for your kind words about my poem and post..it means a lot.
Cheers!
It is me that is honored to meet you both. What you have together is what most people will look for their entire life. You found it. To me that is beautiful!
Talk to you later and I hope you both have a wonderful evening!
Thank you Dave! We do feel very fortunate, regardless of how long we have together; I never used to believe in soul mates ;)
Have a great night too!
