Homage to Love

I’ve a friend who is my adopted brother and cookie provider and boyfriend of my found sister.  He’s one of the most gentle, loving spirits I’ve ever known

The night before Thanksgiving, his 33 year old daughter transitioned after an extensive battle with Type One Diabetes.  It was sudden, but then Diabetes is not the most polite disease.

It’s been a most bittersweet time – and I want to stop for a moment to pay some respect to the energy it takes to mourn and to support those that are the supporters of the loved ones of the passed beings.  I want to pay homage to love.  

It rolls deeply and though it is unlikely I will ever comprehend the loss of a child of my own, I can respect how it feels and send love in waves to those who are experiencing this type of loss.  It’s one of the truest definitions of empathy I’ve ever experienced.  

So, love your people – reach out – forgive – enjoy – laugh – respect.  Try to, like I am, to always remember that love is where it all is and where it all goes.
