~ This is dedicated to my mother. It's been a year since her death and I'm still writing about her. ~ Keeper of Words

When we lose someone dearest to us, we start to lose ourselves. It is as if we experience that feeling of being stabbed in the heart continuously. Of course the blade never gets dull....ready to claim the next innocent soul. The blood never stops dripping, and slowly all that pain and suffering you endured drain out of you onto the cold porecelain floor, until you feel nothing anymore. In reality, no matter what you do, the pain will still linger. We continue to believe that life is unbearable without this person, our interaction with the world becomes sporadic and less frequent. Hell, there's no point in even getting out of bed in the morning. Why does it seem as though we will never be able to experience the same love and happiness we've felt before. So as you continue to light that candle and it slowly starts to burn itself out, just remember this...That candlewick was once unlit. You can ignite that same love again. However, it will be even more fragile this time considering your will to promise to never let it be taken from you ever again. There might be a few obstacles along the way but don't let grief overpower you. 

Most importantly most of us, if not all of us, can relate to that one quote from the movie A Walk to Remember: I'll always love her but our love is like the wind... I can't see it but I can feel it.
