the time of your existence.
Your day of birth, still celebrated.
Time only seems to be going faster,
and there's a gap without you here.
But I believe your safe and happy.
I believe that you can hear it,
as your family still calls out "Happy Birthday"
We drift in and out of sleep,
we move in and out of days.
We live in the cycle of life,
That I believe you are still apart of.
Like clouds and stars, and endless sky.
Like rain, like wind.
I feel you here.
I feel love and beauty and the presence of you
the presence you always left, unforgotten.
When I look up
I know for sure
there must be something more,
and maybe that is what you are apart of now.
We smile and live the best way we can,
pulling through each and everyday
as we end it, together.
We have to believe that we can still
make you proud,
make you smile.
And though you are not here to receive gifts,
I know for certain that we have the greatest gift of all
and that is, love.
You have given us love, and shown us love
and it still lives here.
The memories of you linger eternally in our hearts.
Nothing is permanent but there's a little bit of you
in all of us.
Through blood, through thoughts, through life.
I look around me,
and I remember you. Always.
This family you have brought here treasures
every single moment you have ever given to them,
every single lesson you have ever taught them,
every single feeling you have left them.
Apart of you will always be alive within their hearts, our hearts.
And that is something we can never give up on.
We won't ever let go, of you.
Happy Birthday Nonna.
Love,
Brittany.
