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.

Forgetful Me - Day 97 of 365

This post is for January 2nd, 2010

MEMORY -

Memories ...... the good, the bad, the happy the sad ....... we have them all. The memories I have of Peter, move me in such a way that I write about him everyday. The good, the bad ...... it doesn't matter. Through them all, I am able to relive, reconnect and relearn.

APPLICATION -

Today, I was a bit forgetful. I left something small behind at the hotel. Upon the removal of the bracelet, I remember saying in my head "I won't forget you!" ...... well ...... I forgot. Just a cheap bangle ....... but it wasn't the point. My memory (yes even at age 27) is not as sharp as it once was. If I am forgetting stuff now ...... I can just imagine what will happen in the years ahead!!!!

REFLECTION -

Today I am thankful for the ability to jot down my memories, thoughts and reflections. This is an important year in my life. A year long journey with Peter, that I never want to forget.
