Humanity!

Today, Kevin Sinfield pushed Rob Burrow the entire length of the 26.2-mile Leeds Marathon. As he approached the end, he stopped, unbuckled his best friend from his wheelchair and lifted him into his arms. From there, they crossed the finishing line together. It is friendship. It is love. And the video footage of the remarkable moment has left many in tears ❤

Miss you, Doddie. X

I sit here thinking about the last time I saw your smiling face.
I try to picture your expression, hear your voice and think back to our conversation.
Tears stream down my face as the images of you flash through my mind..memories of you overwhelm my emotions in those moments.
I’m caught in that place between disbelief and sadness and my heart hurts in a way that I don’t know that I’ve ever felt.
I look at my phone and read your last words to me and I wipe away the tears.
I wish I tried to see you more, call you more, tell you that I loved you more.
I fight back the feelings of guilt as I think about the past..and you.
I can’t believe that I can’t call you and hear your voice.
I can’t believe your happy smile won’t greet me anymore when I come to visit.
Part of me won’t believe that you’re gone, that I’ll never be able to hug you again, hear you laugh or spend time with you again.
It’s a hard thing when someone you love dearly is gone.
I don’t know that I’ll be able to make peace with it for a while, but that’s part of the process, I guess.
Maybe I’ll never know why some are gone too soon and that’s okay.
The best thing I can do is live my life in a way that would make you proud and honor your legacy.
To let love be part of who I am.
Still, it hurts knowing that I’ll never hug you, hold your hand or see your smile again.
One day, dear one, we will meet again.
And next time, I’m never letting you go.
See you then.
Know that you’re in my heart, always.

WHEN PARENTS GET OLD ... Let them grow old with the same love that they let you grow ...
Let them speak and tell repeated stories with the same patience and interest that they heard yours as a child ...
Let them overcome, like so many times when they let you win ...
Let them enjoy their friends just as they let you …
Let them enjoy the talks with their grandchildren, because they see you in them ...
Let them enjoy living among the objects that have accompanied them for a long time, because they suffer when they feel that you tear pieces of this life away ...
Let them be wrong, like so many times you have been wrong and they didn’t embarrass you by correcting you ...
LET THEM LIVE and try to make them happy the last stretch of the path they have left to go; give them your hand, just like they gave you their hand when you started your path!

If Christmas is hard,
If you’ve lost someone dear.
Just look in your heart,
And you’ll know they’re still here.

The star in the sky,
The light falling snow.
The robin outside,
It seems like they know.

If this is a time,
When you’re struggling through.
Just do what you can,
For what matters, is you.

There’s no need to be merry,
There’s no need to bright.
Just do what you can,
It will all be alright.
