Saying Goodbye meets Fighting the Good Fight...
Fri, January 4, 2008 - 6:44 PMI am trying to figure out why this is making me revert back to my waterfall status when I know that she has tried her best & is ready to lay her head down and meet her lover after a few decades.
So far as I can see, I'm not even that religious...
2008 seems like a time to try to learn new ways to embrace the present & I know that I should be happy for her and perhaps for her ability to recapture feelings of power and freedom.
In life's continuum, I hope that I can learn to encourage people to take their next step, instead of always wanting them to tread water alongside me.
I suppose that fighting the good fight also means knowing how to acknowledge when you are ready to quit fighting?

"I should be happy for her and perhaps for her ability to recapture feelings of power and freedom. "
May be interesting to turn the "her" to "me" and "my" in that sentence.
Love you. |

Its always hard to say goodbye to somebody you love. There's beauty in the loss, too, for reasons I haven't figured out yet how to explain. No one should be chastised for mourning and crying for someone they love.
The thing is, you can keep her with you, just in a different way - by bringing the parts of her that you love into yourself and what you do. My condolences. |
