I've lost a lot in my fairly short life, had things slip away because of chance or foolishness in myself or foolishness in others. However, I've held more in my hands than most people ever do. I have things that nothing in all of creation can take from me.
I shouldn't be sad for long. My life is rich and blessed and always will be.
The sun shines, my flowers will bloom this coming spring, whatever garden they're in. I have love of a sort that is not shaken. Beauty is always present, and is there to comfort us when we are willing to look up from our little sorrows and see it.
I have the love of my caring and understanding mother and father, my thoughtful sister, my encouraging brother, my sister who makes me laugh. I have the love of their sweet wee ones who draw their auntie glorious things in crayons to make her smile. I have the love of many aunts and uncles, and of my grandfather, with his odd humor and his matter of fact approach to life, and my grandmother, with her deep spiritual strength.
I've had hands I held slip from mine as well, but I know that I was loved. I know I loved in return. I know I am not the only one that wept. As for me, love is worthwhile no matter how it ends. So many people go through life and never really know it. They may not weep like I do, but I pity them. They miss too much of life.
I've held a lot, and known deep joy. I've lost much, and wept from my very soul. I'd not undo any of it. And, wherever my path leads, I will be alright.

Pretty Poem by a dead lady
I put this in a little book I bound for my dear and loving spouse-to-be last St. Valentine's.
I think it's quite appropriate for him. In just a week we'll have been married 6 months. Makes me feel old. :) All this being expected to be a grown up at once was a bit challenging, but I have never before found meeting challenges so rewarding, and I couldn't possibly have a kinder, more paitient helper.
To my Dear and Loving Husband

If ever two were one then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife were happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mi
wisdom from my grandfather and a scary story
To counteract my last, less than happy journal entry, I will make one for the sheer sake of amusement. . .
He recently advised me on how to deal with unpleasant social situations. It amused me greatly. :)

My grandfather grew up in a rural part of the frozen north back when they used horses to plow fields.

He was always quite mischevious and the trait has not l

God bless you, Charity. It's been a long road, and I know only a few of the steps you've walked.
Thanks for the favs on Altar lights and Windows aglow. The Abbey of the Genesee is a place of peace and healing. I'm glad you were able to experience some of that, at least second hand.
