Loss

The whole world lost a lot when we lost you. A soul so beautiful, so loving... Lost. To what? Such a waste. You had so much more life to live, so much more happiness to give... I miss you every minute of every day. I hope there's a place out there where I'll get to see you again. I hope you're someplace better than here. I wish I knew what happened to us after we die... Some people think we just cease to be, and nothing is left... I can't believe that, because if that's true, you are over, and I can't let you be over.
Some people believe in heaven, that you're in a wonderful magical place... I sure hope so. Some people believe in reincarnation, that your soul is on a journey to somewhere new... Maybe?
It seems to me that there are an awful lot of souls out there without reincarnation... How would they all fit in this heaven people speak of?
Some people believe in simple energy... I can tell yours was here, at least briefly, after you left... All I know is that I miss you and I hope you're ok, wherever you are.

Missing you

I've been trying to think back... If there was something I could've said that I didn't, what would it be? I know I would've appreciated you more... You worked so hard, always... You managed to parent me and my child at the same time. You made each child feel like they were your only. I don't know how you did it, the work, the kids, the animals... I don't know how to go on without you. I feel blessed to have had you, but cheated that you were taken so soon...
