“Families are like fudge… mostly sweet with a few nuts.”
– Anonymous
As one gets older
the family member
ranks
above
start to disappear
while the younger family
grows in number.
It’s inevitable
the circle of life
an ebb and flow
a continuing saga
legacy
all woven together
with tradition
DNA
and love.
Sometimes we let busy lives
interfere
with family time
then later regret
not remembering the stories
healing the wounds
letting go of the past
or fostering relationships
while there’s still time.
When we
remember those who’ve
gone before with love
speak their names
tell their stories
laugh
they remain in
our broken hearts
that heal
a little more each day
as their love
shines through.
