My father passed in September of '06. It was a catalystic time for me, the outcome of which has been beautiful ... things that I never thought I would see in my lifetime came to be from the momentum of his death.
I wrote the following soon after his passing ...
My father passed away. The grief is overwhelming. Throughout my life my father and I let insignificant things get in the way of truly caring for each other.
What makes me sad, what is my grief? We wasted time and opportunities.
If you miss someone now who is still alive, stop missing them. Get in front of them and tell them how you feel. Apologize, forgive, listen, speak, explain, understand, ask to be undersood ... or just make your missing them known.
Our journey on this earth is about many things. In the finer moments it is all about love ... first to accept love and learn and the exchange is to give love and teach.
The journey of a loved one is much too short when they are gone and you are left behind to miss them
