Forever With Me

Loss comes in many forms. The most obvious of which is , of course, when a loved one passes away. But we feel loss in many other ways as well. Best friends drift apart, a couple breaks up, life gets in the way. Sometimes I look back and I think about all the people that have passed through my life. Some are still here, but there are those whose time with me was brief. Sometimes It makes me sad to think of those people who were so influential in my life, and who I have now drifted so far from. Then I remember that no matter how far away our lives take us, those people will always be with me. They are part of the intertwining fibers that make up the tapestry of who I am. They will always be with me because they are part of me. Each and every spirit that has touched mine has left it's print upon me. I would not be who I am today without them. God sends people to us for a reason, because there is something we are meant to learn. We must cherish every moment and every memory. Never mourn for those we have lost, for they live on forever within us.
-From my heart to yours
