Five Years

 

5 years.
Feels like 5 days.
Feels like 5 decades.

To love more is the only way to heal from grief (there is no cure). Grief comes only from the core of love. The pain of grief must be transformed into something good; the love needs to go somewhere. So love all you can, everywhere you can, everyone you can, all that you can, as wide as you can, as long as you can. Never fear love, the only thing that can hurt more, is to not love (and not be loved).

To those still in and those new to my life, who except my love and who love me, with all of my faults, foibles, jagged edges and broken pieces, though she’s not here, you are; I am truly grateful and I thank you!

Jackie, I still love you and miss you,
... because you make me happy. 
You still live in me, in my heart, and in my soul.
❤️❤️

 

Spent the afternoon with Danielle & Jennifer at the Elmwood Park Zoo...
...made me happy!
