Dear Chris,
Today is your birthday. I can hardly believe it’s been two years since you left, and three years since we met. In the time you were here, you taught me a lot, and continue to teach me, even through spirit- “Pum! Para arriba y mejorara!”- “get up, dust yourself off and all will improve”…or simply “Para arriba”- “Life goes on.”
We shared so much in our short time together, which leaves a gap nobody will be able to fill. I must walk forward, knowing that you are watching me from your spiritual Home, at “His holy feet”. I hope you are satisfied with the choices I am making with regard to my spiritual path, which was the path you set me on. I learned much from you in your battle, and through the way you conducted yourself in said battle. I pray you are now at peace, but I know you are. After so many challenges, how could you not be?
God bless you, “mi querida amiga”, my dear friend.
A beautiful post. When you lose someone special, they never go away, you hold them very close in your heart for ever. And the things they taught you stay too. If you knew them well, you even know how they would answer a question you might ask in the here and now. It’s as if they are with you in spirit; always.
PS: Chris shares the same birthday as my son.
Thanks, Jan.
I seem to remember you mentioned Chris’ sharing your son’s birthday before. I hope he had a good day.
I will remember all that you have written here, for those times when it seems near impossible to move forward. Moving forward is the sensible thing, I know, after two years…it’s just [em]very[/em] hard to do.
Thank you for being a great help to me on this journey,
Shady
