Some people see death
I see seeds with angel wings
Afloat with new hope
My father-in-law is dying, and we will miss him of course but we aren’t sad. The person we knew has been gone for a while, only to re-materialize in my daughters, nieces and nephews, and their babies. Life is a continuum, bodies mere physical manifestations, and with each new birth we celebrate those who have gone before them anew.
