On the Loss of My Parents – 09
[Exploring Life] An Offering in Memory of My Parents
Though you have left us
Your presence echoes within the landscape of our souls;
Tears caress the beauty of your memory
And we know you have been released from darkness and suffering.
Your absence presses on our hearts,
You touch us gently in spirit.
Grief has become our most trusted advisor
For in loss we are made
And in the solitude of our despair we discover you,
Embracing our fragile sensibilities.
We can sit with each other no longer
The sound of your voices are painfully frail
But the essence of your love remains
Deep within that eternal place
You whisper.
Your home is within our hearts
Your essence is in our souls;
In the beauty and resilience of nature
We find you.
You are now a source
An essence
An inspiration
For those of us that remain
Waiting to one day journey to where you have now arrived.
May your memory remind us of purpose
May your words remind us of meaning,
And may your lives remind us of the gratitude
That is the origin of love
For it is through you that life remains vibrant, mysterious, and beautiful.
Brian:
I was cruising the net when I stumbled upon your posting.
Of course, I knew your parents well in the '70's and early '80's. And I must add, I rather liked them.
Your father was quite the card, and I always enjoyed his humour.
Your mother …. well, she had her hands full with you.
Please accept my condolences on the passing of your mother and father.
Sincerely,
Norm Nopper
