You gained your wings yesterday Anna,
Leaving your earthly bounds behind.
I’m glad you’re no longer suffering
That you’re with loved ones gone before you. But I won’t deny I will miss our conversations.
That’s one of the hardest parts of losing someone. How their voice is silenced, unless they visit your dreams.
Time moves on, leaving us all behind. Eventually, we are forgotten. The greatest legacies we can leave behind are the love and compassion we gave. And to leave no footprints on the big beautiful blue jewel we call Earth.
I will plant a tree in your name Anna, a white oak. From this little acorn it will grow. Just as we humans begin our lives as a tiny seed, and aspire to become something bigger, in the circle of life.
Fly high my friend, you are free.
