Today is a much different day for me than it was five years ago. The sun is shining, my grief has healed and I am frequently smiling. This wasn’t the case five years ago, almost to the minute, when I watched Christian pass right before my eyes. Back then, the weather was literally dark. It was as though, even the heavens knew what a sad day this would be for those who knew and loved Christian. The following days, months and years would be dark, as well. This would take a lot to heal; his presence would be greatly missed. But today, as I think about Christian in this way, I am so grateful for his presence in my life, the time I had him, and for all he taught me. He taught me so much. For never have I met a more developed soul than his. I feel so blessed for him having been in my life. I am also grateful for those Earthly souls who reached out to me, tried to buoy me up when I was experiencing the darkest moments of my life. I thank you for being a light in the darkness. I call you my Earth Angels. Namaste. xo
