Embracing the Light

There wasn’t a funeral, as much as a remembrance, a celebration of Sunny. There was music, there were pictures, there were stories, and there was grief. There was no procession to the grave yard, there was no casket, and there was no viewing. Sunny was just gone. Simply and irretrievably gone.

I finally went to visit her grave today. It is beautiful, as she was. She is not there. I have much more intimate contact with her here in my own home. In my mind, with my own pictures, with the notes that she left, with the music we shared, and jokes we told. She is here, she is not there. The setting is nice, as nice as a cemetery can be, the headstone is beautiful, but she is not there. I didn’t feel her there. I feel her all the time…and I treasure it.
