Good morning all! Today there is a different tone to my morning post, today there are reasons for me to be sad as it is the day for Jenis funeral. I am sad because she is not here but lets not forget how happy, inspirational and full of life she was, lets this be a celebration of her life. Jeni, we will remember you with a smile on our faces and love in our hearts. I still remember getting that phone call that Monday morning to tell me that Jeni passed away in her sleep. I immediately sat down, overcome with shock and confusion. How could she not be alive? What happened? How did it happen? What could I have done? Why wasn’t she with us? These were all questions that ran through my brain as I tried to process the information I had just learned. People come into our lives for all sorts of reasons, just as people sometimes inexplicably exit our lives. Sometimes, they leave with goodbyes, other times, they are taken from us for no rhyme or reason. They act as comets in the night sky, lighting up our worlds before disappearing into the darkness. We are left only with memories of their pasts and the sounds of their voices, which we hope to never forget. We think back to the last time we saw these people and wish for just one more day, one more conversation. The truth is that no amount of extra time would have been even close to enough. But, while people are sometimes taken from us, it doesn’t mean they must leave our hearts. We can take these people with us, day after day, through everything we do. I promise that the world will send you little hints that these people are still with you. In my grieving time, I’ve learned that people will leave our lives for all sorts of reasons, some of which we will never understand. Death is not something you are supposed to understand, you just have to accept it. There is no right way for someone to mourn. There is no correct number of tears you are allowed to cry. There is no level of strength you should possess. Death is one of the hardest tragedies any person will have to experience. There is simply nothing anyone can say to make it better. There are a million justifications that you can throw out into the universe, but plain and simple, death is not fair. I truly believe that people who are in our hearts are never gone. They come back at unlikely times and for unlikely events to let us know that they are always with us. Someone isn’t just with you when you visit his or her grave, the person remains in your heart, should you choose to bring the person with you. So, hold on to every picture, hold on to every memory, replay those videos and look for them everywhere you go. Break down when you need, no matter how long it takes. Know that with every milestone and event, our loved ones stay with us even if we can’t see them. They are there, watching over us, every single day. We may no longer have a certain friend, sibling, son, daughter, friend or teammate, but these people stay with us forever. They continue to watch over us and stay with us every day, through every milestone we reach without them here on earth. youtu.be/cxyf1caYbbU
