Heaven holds my father
On his special day
Lord I ask this of you
To tell him I'm ok
Then put your arms around him
And tell him that's from me
Please tell him that I will love him
For all eternity

If you've ever lost a loved one or been involved in tragedy, than it is highly likely you've been on the receiving end of "time heals all wounds". While time lessons the pain, missing someone you love never goes away. But I read something recently that it's what you do with your time that heals. I thought this was an interesting concept. The author went on to say that time is a vague term, it could be 2 months, 3 years, 5 years .... but like any aspect in our lives we have to work on healing. Grieving is an active process not a passive one. While grief is different for everyone I can appreciate this perspective. I will always miss my dad. I am thankful to have memories and am doing my best to live life to the fullest! From personal experience ~ you never know when someone you love might be gone forever.
