During one of the conversations I had with my father, we spoke about death. He told me that when we died he would be everywhere.
During one of the conversations I had with my father, we spoke about death. He told me that when we died he would be everywhere.
This is how I choose to see my father now. He is in every note of music and the spaces in between. He is in every whisper or rush of wind, every leaf on a tree, every blade of grass, every grain of sand, every star in the sky. He is a part of a greater whole in every minute detail..
On a more personal level, my father is a part of everyone who knew him: every interaction, every word, every gesture, every thought, every feeling, every emotion, every state of being and he is the sum of all who knew him.
On an even more personal level I think about my relationship with my father. As I work through my grief, I think about who he was to me in my life and who he is to me in death. Death doesn't end my relationship with him. Death brings it to a new reality and understanding.
I grow and continue on my path through life. I honor my father and myself by living my life to the fullest extent possible.
