Living Like a Loved One; A Journey of Healing

I invite you to follow my day to day discoveries as I begin Living Like a Loved One, I lost my Uncle to cancer a year ago in late September. It's been a challenging healing process for the entire family, and I've decided that it doesn't have to be that difficult. During the next year, I will take the most special memories of my Uncle and bring them back to a reality in my day to day life. I hope this brings comfort and enlightenment to all who subscribe.

Light Switch - Day 74 of 365

MEMORY -

A portable light switch. Something so simple yet so highly effective when it came to "lights out time". I bought Peter the cool little gadget along with getting one for myself. He LOVED the "As Seen On T.V" product as much as I did. He'd pick it up, flip the switch, shouting out a sound of delight. I loved to see him get tickled over the small things in life.

APPLICATION -

Walking through CVS, I passed through the "As Seen On T.V" aisle. For just a moment, I looked through the products wondering what I would have bought him this Christmas if he was around.

When I got home, I walked into my room and grabbed my portable light switch. I flipped it on and off a few times, getting a simple thrill from the convenience of not having to walk to the wall or reach under the lamp shade.

REFLECTION -

Just like the switch, Pete's spirit is portable and always near by. He immediately brings me light so I don't have to walk through darkness to find it.
