366 days of wisdom (February 4, 2020)

Day 35 of 366

“What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”

Helen Keller.

There are various gifts we receive from God, chief among them are, the gift of life, and the gift of family, and loved ones. these gifts defines us, and how we live our lives. We are so attached to these gifts, that anything that happens to them happens to us, we are emotionally, mentally, physiologically, socially, and psychologically attached to them.

Sometimes, these gifts are taken away from us through death, and we may never remain the same again. We become so deeply affected by their departure because, we have so deeply enjoyed their presence, their love, their care, and their life, we have deeply been part of each other, so, it feels  like a part of us has been severed, but yet we live with the pain.

Anne Lamott once said, “You will lose someone you can’t live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that. you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news.
They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly — that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”

Our departed ones may not be here again, but there memory lingers on in our hearts, they live on within us, they are never lost.

We should also remember, that, just as they have  gone we will also be gone one day, and when we are gone, what memories? What legacies? Will we leave behind. Let us endeavour to live each day like it was our last.
