The Month of March.
Today is the first of day of the month of March! Time seems to fly – two months into the year already! And we are all set for a snowy Siberian spell! So I hope you are all keeping warm! As each month comes, I check in mentally to see whose birthdays are coming up… among those in March, for me Mum comes to mind…her birthday, always closely associated with Mother’s day which falls on 11th March this year. Mum has been gone 5 years now. She passed away suddenly of a heart attack, following years of heart ache it has to be said, after losing Dad. When I think of Mum, the overwhelming feeling is of love. Yes, there were many issues around our life together as mum and daughter, but she had so much love, not only for her family, but so much more to share with others, especially tiny animals or birds, who needed help. She was a healing soul, and many benefitted from her gentle nature, wise words and healing energy. Losing someone you love hits in many different ways…but most of all, as time goes on, you feel the space they leave when they go. This experience will differ for each individual.
I feel it is important to be able to express how you feel for someone you care about, whether in words or actions. Doing something meaningful, especially if you can share time together, is a gift that comes back to you at times when they are far away. There is a special magic of warmth shared that is very precious to tuck away in your heart, that you can go back to when you want to.
Time runs out sometimes
Life is not exactly neat and tidy! In my case both Mum and Dad were taken suddenly… so lots unsaid, and things not done. In many other cases, families are war zones where they might wish there was more love and understanding on both sides. Are there words unexpressed in your world? Who will make the first move? Does it really matter who breaks ranks if resolution is desired and moved toward? Is there something going on where peace and resolution is required for you personally, even if full resolution cannot be achieved? Well, only you will know and chose what feels best for you and yours. Whatever your inner voice is whispering to you as you read these words, it is there for a reason – possibly an opportunity? I choose to remember my Mum for the enormous gift of love she gave me, and so many others, from a heart that was genuine and loyal. I also choose to value those still around me and remember to tell them I love them more often.
