Mixed Emotions

[Cher]

Today is my grandsons 10th birthday, I can't believe how the years have passed so quickly, It is also the 9th Anniversary of my Fathers passing into the higher life, there has been mixed emotions on this date through the years, but we have to move forward like the years that have passed since then.

I think of my Father every day, I feel him around me and talk to him as if he's still with me in the physical, our loved ones who pass do not disappear into some black hole they are all around us helping and comforting us. We miss their physical presence but each day it gets better, we learn to live without them, but the hurt lingers on until eventually we can accept their passing. No one would like to see a loved one suffer with an illness that takes their quality of life away, when they go to the summerland ( Heaven ) they are whole again.

I have come to the realisation that today I should celebrate not only my grandsons birthday but also the passing of my Father, his life is not over he lives in the spirit world with my mother and also in the memories I have of him. A passing is like a birthday into the Spirit world where everyone is whole and well.
