Part in the here and now - part in eternity

It came in an instant, if Tom were here, where would he "be" in this new life I am forging. It was a fleeting thought with a swift impact - instant guilt.

I am healing - but it is so hard to relinguish the essence of YOU - your laugh - your tall body - dancing in the kitchen, being on this earth together = unconditional love. And all the icky parts too - it is so easy to make the person who dies into a "saint" - you were not a saint - me neither - but you sure were my totally human husband,mate, brother - friend.

Before Tom's spirit passed - Heather - wise beyond her years - ICU Nurse, walked me in the hall - one of the things she said, "Tom did not come into your life to leave you a broken, empty shell - he came into your life to enrich it."

That he did -

It is still more a feeling than a thought to be written. Om Shanti.

  2. "It is more a feeling than a thought to be written."
    What a profound observation. The infinity of your emotions will never be truly be captured in words---no matter how beautifully you try!
    I love your posts. The heart/stroke scare is familiar. I've had several that have never been explained. But as long as my blood pressure stays low and I do the best I can to stay peaceful and healthy I imagine I'll be here just about as long as I'm supposed to be.
    Oh, and no matter what Suzan, you could never, ever be an empty shell.
