There are individuals that come into our lives and never leave. Even after they are physically gone, they remain, although formless. Some of us may have sensed their Presence Potential from the beginning. It’s a feeling you get, and you know right away, you will love them stronger than most. Intuition. The heart sees deeper than they eye.
The mark this person made on you is astounding, amazing, one of the Great Gifts. You can’t believe you were so blessed. But at the same time, you can’t believe they are gone. You struggle with the absence of their form. You know their soul is still here because you keep part of it in you. But the desire to have them here physically will never diminish.
In dreams you see their face or hear their voice. You wake up so sure they are still alive, and then you realize, years have passed since they have passed. Tears come to your eyes, you do not sob, but tears silently flow. You close your eyes and you remember what it was like to lay next to them. If you picture them now only colors come to your mind. Like a prism of the most beautiful hues possible. And that is how you remember them, in beautiful hues.
The memories that dance in your head are those when love was the strongest presence. Come to think of it, you don’t remember a memory where love wasn’t there. Even a negative memory brings tears of love to your eyes. Any flaws they had, you realize now, were still so beautiful. You are in awe by how blind you were to this fact. You vow never to be blind like this again.
You assert this vow daily by making your love known to those you still have here. There is nothing you would not give for them, and you hope they know this. You try to show them any chance you get. There is no feeling more overwhelming than the feeling you have when you are thinking of them. You wish there was a way you could touch them and they could feel it. When you hug them you think on it, hoping that it will travel into their heart. You pray on them feeling and knowing this love daily.
When you think of those no longer here, loss is a term you cannot identify with. They are not lost. You think in terms of energy, and the fact that it is simply transformed, they were transformed. You find peace in thinking of their energy inside of you. You find strength in their energy inside of you. You find a greater life because of their energy inside of you. Suddenly, it dawns on you. Through their transformation, you were given yet another of the Great Gifts….
