THE WINTER GRAVE...

During the winter the grave gets blown over and sometimes even covered in snow. This threatens to erase my loved one, so I go there and lovingly wipe the snow away. I will not let anyone forget.

Sage But sometimes I just don’t get there and the grave does get covered. It is in these times that I am reminded that there is one who never erases my loved one. This is the one with whom they live.

This is the one who sees them every day and loves them and knows them. I am reminded that their spirit and soul and memory can never be wiped out. For they live on even when I cannot see them...

One thing that can never be taken from you is the love you share with the person who has gone to the next place. This is yours always.
