There comes a time when letting go is vital.

Letting go doesn’t mean forgotten, it’s not a sign of weakness, and it doesn’t mean the hole in your heart from missing someone is gone.

It simply means, the healing has begun.

It means choosing to hold onto, and treasure the memories you made when that loved one was here – instead of missing them to the point of grief.

There comes a time, when letting go is vital.

When focusing on the glorious reunion when you see that person again, becomes more real than the reality that they’re gone until that day.

Remembering, never forgetting, the imprint left on your heart. The sound of their voice, the embrace of their hug, the laughter, their fight,  and the moments that when you close your eyes you can still feel them next to you.

Today, I am doing just that. 

Feeling.

Remembering.

Healing.

Anticipating.

Celebrating –

The anniversary of that day my daddy went to his Heavenly home.

Today, we’ll continue with our tradition of writing letters to him. But this year, 2 years since our goodbye, with a renewed joy in knowing I will see him again.

Knowing, that healing is mine, as I’ve given my heart a chance to be made more than whole by my Creator.

As he reminds me that that daily, they’re cheering me on in my goals, in the everyday routine, as they smile down at me, anticipating the day he’ll hug his little girl again.

Love you daddy- Keep shining.

Always, your little girl
