Good-bye Isn't Forever

To LOVE much is to hurt much

as I experienced it this weekend at two funerals.

The sadness was so great

because the LOVE was so great.

Two mothers. Two wives.

Two women

of

Two different families.

Yet at this moment the same.

One 63 & one 88 years old.

We all know saying good-bye is part of life,

yet it is so surreal when it happens

as we all have had to say

Good-bye

to someone and someones

that we LOVE so greatly.
