Spring turns into summer, the grass starts to turn brown, there is the early morning smell of flowers, the birds are singing and a new day begins. The warm afternoon slows the pace of daily life and there is time to reflect on the past and ponder the future.
Celia, my wife, companion and best friend for the last 24 years departed this world on May 28, 2021. As her caregiver for the last three years, I now find myself dealing with her estate, our living trust, occasionally grieving her absence in my life and trying to find my way forward.
Just like the changing of the seasons we all make transitions through our personal choices, some life events beyond our control and good old time--Life goes on.
Grateful you are a part of our seasons. We cherish and celebrate the memories of our loved ones and do the best we can to continue to move forward and make the most of the gifts of love and friendship we share.
ReplyDeleteLife doesn't stop knocking on our door, it keeps us going through thick or thin. Thanks for this beautiful piece of writing Michael: one-day-at-a-time.
ReplyDeleteNice piece on transitions.
