It's been a lovely day, seeing my sweet great grandchildren, the loves of my life...but also I received a sweet reminder from my "own true Love" a kind of laugh from the past. Les sent along some of the stuff that thankfully he took home rather than have me throw it out.. when he sorted it all, there were some letters from Mac sent to me when I went with my mom to England. Though I could only read one, it was too overwhelming and heartbreaking to read any more, I did get a chuckle on the letter I read, because Mac had attached a card...this is what it said..
To Your "Big" Toe
I miss you too!!
"Left Ear"
Mac used to complain that I never stay still in bed, I move all around and even get my big toe in his left ear...
Of course the letter says much more, but I felt that the laugh I got did help me to go on with life, and thus the following poem that I received at the grieving group rings true...
You can shed a tear now that he is gone
Or you can smile because he has lived
You can close our eyes and pray he'll come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left
Your heart can be empty,
Because you cannot see him
Or can be full of the love
that you have shared
You can turn our back on tomorrow
And live for yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow
Because of yesterday
You can remember him and ache
That he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory
and let him live on
You can cry and close your mind
Be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what he would want
Smile, open your eyes
Love, and go on
Well I'm smiling through the tears...what a fun guy he was so I will smile and open my eyes...
Although for now I will go to bed, wishing I could bother his left ear...
g'nite.
