My heart aches as I reflect upon a topic that touches the very essence of our souls: the relentless passage of time and the immeasurable loss of our mom and dad.
Time, it seems, flies by with swiftness of a fleeting dream, leaving us grasping at memories that slip through our fingers like grains of sand. It’s a force we cannot control and we often find ourselves swept away by its currents.
We are all too familiar with the sensation that time moves at a pace we can barely comprehend. In the blink of an eye, the years turn into decades, the innocence of childhood into the complexities of adulthood and the faces of our parents, those who brought us into the world and nurtured us, slowly but surely grow older.
It is a stark reminder of the fragile and ephermal nature of our existence and compels us to embrace every fleeting moment.
When it comes to our parents, the loss of these guiding lights in our lives is a wound that cuts deep, a void that never truly heals. It’s during these times that we find ourselves longing for their comforting presence— their wise counsel and their unconditional love. It’s as though a part of our identity, a cherished piece of our history, has been irreversibly torn away.
Grief, in all its complexity, washes over us. The emotions are tumultuous sea, from the heavy
weight of sorrow to the gentle waves of nostalgia and undenying ache of longing. We come to realize that a part of us, a cornerstone of our very being, has been forever changed.
But in the midst of this profound sorrow, we can alao find a a glimmer of solace. The enduring lessons and memories our parents left behind are like guiding stars in the darkest night.
Let us all remember that TIME IS A FRAGILE GIFT and it’s up to us to make the most of it. While we cannot control the unstoppable march, we can choose how we spend the precious moments we are granted. As we navigate the profound pain of losing our parents, I know I also need to celebrate the love, guidance and wisdom they bestowed upon us. However, I am still struggling every day to get back on track.
Oh I wish we had more time together…
