The Night Sky Is Brighter, Our Hearts Heavier

Though I have had my share of losses, both family and friends, what to say and how to feel is never easy.  Mourning is for the living, a way of getting through the emptiness left.  The impact, no matter how jaded or strong one is, powerful and painful.

Our best efforts are to live our lives as courageously and strong as we can, appreciate every day, every morning, every night sky.

It is one of only a few moments that makes us really focus on what is truly important.  Sheryl Crow wrote, "It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you have".  In it's most simplest form, that is happiness.

Jen and I were fortunate to have Michele Cervantes in our lives, though for a brief few years.  Our time here is fuller because of both Michele and Ken in our lives.  Let us all carry on in Michele's memory, always a warm smile, absent of judgment or malice.

May you guide us in our path towards the example you set.
