Everyone suffers loss and if they haven't I wonder what they are in for. I don't think any of us get to pass through our lifetimes without suffering the loss of someone we love. I don't know why we must go through such grief.
I have come to believe that life is not made up of atoms and matter but of stories. That is the energy that surrounds us. Every family has a story. But I had to wonder today if every family might also be a ghost story because the dead sit in our hearts and at our tables long after they are gone.
