Where on earth has the time gone to?
In one way it seems an eternity as I sit here and just cannot believe that it was 4 years ago!
As it was four years ago and each year after that, it is a grey cold winters day… every now and again a glimpse of sun has come through to brighten the day.
I can recall the moment, place and feeling that left me totally numb.
The shock, horror, sadness…. but also a peace… a peace that washes over slowly and you just know… know it will be all right.
I look at photos of you and share and discuss them with your niece and nephew.
You are always a part of our conversations and I know inextricably woven into the fabric of our very lives.
Your quirky dry sense of humour, your fun-loving attitude … we DO miss you…. the old you…
and so today I hold onto the memories in my heart and the photographs in my hands…
IN MEMORY OF MY BROTHER IN LAW, JASON….
“Photographs are precious memories . . . the visual evidence of place and time and relationships . . . ritual talismans for the treasure chest of the heart.”
~ Robert Fulghum, in From Beginning to End
“To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die.” ~ Thomas Campbell
