There have been many phases in life that were difficult to say goodbye to, but four that standout and maybe goodbye was not meant to be uttered. Maybe these phases or seasons as I like to call them are meant to be remembered and held closely in my heart; not to say goodbye to.
How can you forget or say goodbye to seasons of love and closeness? I don’t think we are supposed to. I understand we can’t live in the past, but we can take what we have learned into the future. Certain people who have made an impact in my life are meant to be carried over and maybe bless another with the things imparted to me by them. But, no never should I say goodbye. I carry these 4 people in my heart where ever I go.
At times, I feel like they are around maybe guiding me, watching over me or showing me the path to take. Yes, I know that Jesus does all that as well, but have you ever considered that quite possibly those held close in your heart may be speaking? I don’t know the complete answer, but I believe love is eternal and lives on. So, with these four living on in my heart, how can that love not show itself at times? I choose to believe love lives on.
The first person that I experienced a season of grief about was my brother. He passed in 2005 and as much as we loved one another our last words showed none of that love. But, I know he knew just as I knew so I carry him in my heart always.
The next season was 2019. This was a long season because both my Mom & Dad passed away six months apart. This was such a hard season. I felt totally alone. All I had left was my husband of many years and my life was turned upside down, but goodbye I never uttered because I tucked them away in my heart.
The final season was just last week. My husband, my everything, my rock of 27 years passed away suddenly. Without warning I lost him and this season is by far going to be the hardest for me. I don’t know what to do with myself, but God does and will provide, but oh, the pain. The love of my husband will occupy the part of my heart that only belongs to him for eternity. The biggest part and never will goodbye be considered.
