From Wednesday 23 July:
Today
was a big heart day filled with love, loss and grief. On our walk this
morning we passed the local school. Parents and children were gathered
with colourful balloons and flowers to celebrate the life of their
beloved teacher, who lost her life on MH17 last week.
Not long after I
heard the sad news that my cousin-in-law's beautiful mum had passed. The
closeness she shares with her sisters reminds
me of the relationship I have with my own sisters, and the experience
we had of losing our mum 12 years ago.
There is something about death
that awakens you to life in a whole new way. Grief breaks the
heart...many times breaking it open in a way it never would have
otherwise.
On days like this I wish we could have an annual pass to see
our loved ones, just for a hug. On days like this I think they are with
us, closer than ever. xxx
