Sleep sweet, my darling. Goodnight.

If someone touches your life for the better, remember to be thankful for the time that you’ve spent together, any lessons you have learned on behalf of their knowing, and aspects of them that you have acquired to form your own personality along the way.  The inconsistency of loved ones in our lives troubles me at times.  The truth is disconcerting that not everyone can stay for whatever reason; be it time, distance, or death.  After such a loss, remembering to remain grateful becomes an exercise in futility.  Often it is painful to recall someone’s name; the way you might remember a certain scent or long for the melody of a song that you cannot stop humming.  Sometimes I miss everyone I’ve ever known all at once.  Tonight is one of those times.  Be strong enough within yourself to let go of the things that were not meant for you.  And remember to smile because it happened; remember to smile because you experienced love, however fleeting it may have been.  After all, we are here on earth together, learning how to love and trying to do what is right.  Sleep sweet, my darling.  Goodnight.
