{Perhaps}

 

"Perhaps they are not the stars

but openings in the Heaven

where the love of our lost ones

pours through

and shines upon us

to let us know

they are happy"

 

-Unkown

 

 

This past week brought with it the memorial services of two incredibly lovely people.

Two incredibly kind, courageous, inspiring people.

Two people who will be greatly missed.

Two more people whose battle with cancer is now over.

 

Cancer terrifies me. It angers me. It makes me question.

 

But perhaps...

Perhaps the ONE good thing that cancer can do is to help us realize.

To see the beauty in the everyday. To not take it for granted.

To remember how very fragile this life really is.

To be kind.

To hold our loved ones close.

Every day.

 

And to look up at the sky and know that these angels are happy.
