Remember
Bring to mind someone
who is gone.
Someone you loved.
In these moments,
think of the things that they loved:
Crossword puzzles.
Family.
Sweet potatoes.
Daylilies.
Dogs.
Hold in your mind and heart
the things that they loved.
Be thankful for their
love and presence in the world.
Their love is with you.
Leo Tolstoy
Only people who are capable
of loving strongly can also
suffer great sorrow, but this same
necessity of loving serves
to counteract their grief
and heals them.
1 Corinthians 13:8
Love never fails.
