Here is my poem and the quote Uncle Dave shared. Thank you for your ongoing support and I’m so glad my writing resonated with so many of you!

When it’s wrong and it’s beautiful 

When you want to change it but want it all the same 

When it wasn’t supposed to be this way but it’s now exactly how it was supposed to be 

When it would always be too soon but the timing was perfect 

When there’s a void but it’s also overflowing 

When it feels like lack but there is only abundance 

When it hurts but it’s good 

When it’s less but somehow more 

When it’s too much but we’re okay 

When there was death but it didn’t win

‘Grief never ends, but it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness , nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love. ‘
