Quote of the month from The Compassionate Friends. I am sharing since for one, it is very true, and secondly, this is the anniversary week for Paul. I say week because it was not just one day, but the days that followed I will never forget. I guess I should be more private about it, but then that’s not me!! It’s not even that I want attention or anyone to feel sorry for me and for Jeff!! I just I don’t want anyone to forget Paul.

Quote of the Month:

From the outside looking in you can never understand and from the inside looking out you can never explain. ~ Author unknown

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam…
And for a brief moment it’s glory and beauty
belong to our world,
but then it flies on again.;
...And though we wish it could have stayed,
We feel so lucky to have seen it.

If you mention my child’s name
I may cry.
But if you don’t mention it,
...you will break my heart ~ author unknown

The Silver Tears

And so it begins
Silver tears falling like soft rain
Cascading downward on it’s sad journey
Arriving at my empty soul and shattered heart
The silver tears come because we are apart
I try to see the beauty in things
I yearn to be… near the warm sun
I listen for laughter and beauty
but the sliver tears just bide their time
for they know
that behind every smile
every warm embrace
The reality of you being gone
will let the silver tears escape
and so it begins

Women, don’t get a tattoo. That butterfly looks great on your breast when you’re twenty or thirty, but when you get to seventy, it stretches into a condor.

~Billy Elmer

“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”

“I’m a walking storeroom of facts….. I’ve just lost the key to the storeroom door.”

We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever. ~Carl Sagan

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.
~Irish Blessing
