Words just seen enough, and yet though the sadness felt is still fresh it’s time to slowly move on. I have been debating what to write; somehow our daily quips just don’t seem to cut it. I can’t bring myself to prattle on about the silly events of our lives; they seem hollow, inappropriate as if they mock what we have witnessed. And, yet I have always said that in the end I would wish people to remember my life and not what they have loss, to celebrate it in grand Old Dixie Style. So why I am finding this so difficult? Why am I reluctant to continue posting with our usual whimsy [when it does occur], and put down in words our daily ramblings, my thoughts and occasional flights of fancy?
it's all about baby steps....
this post is the first and the rest will come more easily as time goes on.
i promise!
Posted by: nikki g. on Febrero 2, 2003 11:42 PMi have always thought it would be ideal to commemorate death by celebrating life, but in practice it's harder to do. but what you said here, reminding yourself that that's how you would like to be remembered, is a good way of moving towards a more philosophical acceptance of death as part of life. i just think that's an important thing to do, a source of strength.
