Feeling Croppy posted a photo: What are my struggles on this 2 year anniversary? A gap continues to widen between the life I knew with my father and the one I must continue without him. There is a gap that grows with each passing day where I can’t talk to him about football, music, his crosswords, Noah. God, I hate how much he’s missed regarding Noah. The distance is everlasting, it will continue to widen; this force urges me to let go and live that new life where he has no influence, where he can no longer lead with his guidance, where the only impact he makes is his memory. There is a gap in which I struggle with the juxtaposition of grasping tightly to each day so this distance between time and memory ceases to widen, yet I beg for time to pass more quickly so the distance may lessen the pain. Yet, I realized this week that the pain has not lessened. The pain is still so strong. The pain was unbearable the other night as Paul held me in his arms while I cried and cried. But the pain is less frequent. The pain does not take over the many hours and days it once did. So time has helped. And I cannot remain in the past. I must ally myself with time. I must let go and trust in what tomorrow brings. ************************************************************** There Are Such Things ~ Frank Sinatra www.tsrocks.com/f/frank_sinatra_texts/there_are_such_thin… A heart that’s true, there are such things A dream for two, there are such things Someone to whisper “Darling you’re my guiding star” Not caring what you own but just what you are A peaceful sky, there are such things A rainbow high where heaven sings So have a little faith and trust in what tomorrow brings You’ll reach a star because there are such things So have a little faith and trust in what tomorrow brings You’ll reach a star because there are such things
