– Edward C. Sellner

It has been 21 months since you decided to leave. 21 months of heart break and sadness. 21 months of wondering why you did this. 21 months of wondering what could have been so bad that you felt the need to leave all of us here to live this life without you. 21 months of seeing your beautiful smile in my head. 21 months of sharing stories about you with others. 21 months of looking at your baby sister and thinking how much she looks just like you.

21 months of missing you. 21 months of wishing you were here still.

21 months of anger. 21 months of forgiveness and 21 months of tears.

Rest in peace my sweet angel….until we meet again.

‘Our loved ones forgive us, as we forgive them.’

‘I know the truth always wins. Someday I may be able to step away from the battle.’

“Faith is the centerpiece of a connected life. It allows us to live by the grace of invisible strands. It is a belief in a wisdom superior to our own. Faith becomes a teacher in the absence of fact.” 

– Terry Tempest Williams

‘Unknowing, I will trust the unknown.’

“A faithful friend is the medicine of life.” – The Apocrypha

‘Friends can help keep the flow of grief moving.’

‘My life is what I am given now. I will trust that the fog will lift and the mountains will be beautiful once more.’

“Because humor brings us back to earth, it helps us to use well what is left to us even when we are keenly aware of what we have lost or been denied. Only those who know how to weep can also laugh heartily.” – Kathleen R. Fischer

‘Sometimes laughter is the best medicine.’
