I understand your loss in some way from watching my friend grieve her son. You lost his presence and his future. Life can be very hard, but it is good to be able to appreciate and enjoy your daughters life. Sad for you.

To honor loss, to honor life, Candid reflection. Love the picture of your daughter btw, leaping off the water; taking flight. Quite fitting for how time has flown by so fast and look how much she has grown!

That’s such a good way to look at it Geo, we can only go forward, backwards doesn’t lead to much other than more grief. Choosing to celebrate what beautiful things we do have, is right, because time passes so quickly and change never stops. I love your picture of her jumping – wonderful image of celebration! I wish my Dad had taken a picture of me like that, I forget I used to do things like that! ;) And the flower is gorgeous too, beautiful sunlight filtering through! :)
thank you

Beyond the deepest pain
The purest Hope emerge,
Silently, indubitably, resolutely.

Indeed, reverence for all life… and hope. Always hope.
Smiling at this photo and the joy your family now has.
