INTO THIS DEEP

4 years since my son has passed from this Earth and onto his next phase. Some people are not meant to live a whole life. Meeting your first real love and marrying them. Having children. Finding your place in this world. Making more beautiful memories all along the way. We get to share in their life for however long that life is. It still does not quell the sadness of the void they left. You have to travel through it, the years without them. Watch their friends and cousins live beyond the years I got to have with him. What comforts me is knowing he is just behind the veil, I cannot see him with my eyes, but I can with my heart. And as the sadness becomes diluted with time, what rises to the top is all the love and ALL the smiles, joy and laughter we shared with him.
