The Great Loss

Loss is such a disconnecting experience. When we lose the people we most cherish, we tend to feel that we have missed out on something wonderful. I am touching on this subject because I know a wonderful person who has had the unfortunate experience of losing someone in their life here recently. Of course I personally know others who have had to endure this unfortunate experience, however I have just recently started writing about it. I myself have lost my father not too long ago who was defeated by cancer. He was not always a participant of his children's lives, but he did make the effort to let us know that he loved us. Losing him was a sad experience because of the lack of closure and knowing that I will never see or hear from him again. He lived and died in Waco Texas, which made it very difficult for me because I was unable to be there for him in his time of need. For those who have lost a loved one I share with you my deepest condolences. The loss of someone is a very interesting thing to have to experience because that loss happens when we are trying to get to know that person, or trying to get closer to that person, or have experienced the wonderful attributes of that person. Unfortunately, at that time that is when it is difficult to accept the loss. I know that individuals have experienced a loss on many different levels. Some anticipated, some unexpected, some desired (not meant in a bad way), and some that you can never image. But isn't it funny that no matter how much you prepare, it is always a hard thing to experience. So with all of that being said and since I have lost my father, I have been trying to make the most positive effort to be there for my mother. I have known others who have had many losses and I myself have experienced many losses as well, but losing my mother would be the most devastating loss that I could ever imagine. We should learn from those experiences and try to become better people when it come to connecting with the those whom we know we should connect to. People come into our lives for a reason, so we should embrace the memories, the friendships, the motherhood's, the fatherhood's, the brotherhoods and the sisterhoods. Remember those people, experiences with those people, the conversations with those people, the hand holding, the sharing with that special person could all be over one day. So take one day at a time and let people know how you feel because those loved ones can easily be removed from your life and regardless of it all, no matter when, how, why and where you lose someone, we must continue Living Life.

Life Changes

It is very funny how life changes day by day. We all experience many para dyne shifts as we go through life trying to put the pieces together. Some of us can handle it and some are too afraid to take chances which will enable progress and the move forward. I have found all aspects of life interesting and how I have handled these aspects of my life has been even more interesting. Regardless of it all I will continue living life.
