In her memory…
January 8th, 2012 {State your mind »}
I always went on the idea that as long as the ones that have built the foundations of your childhood still live, you will always can go back to that time, to them and relive it, you will always have that childhood living within you…
But when those people are gone, I one believe that the bridge between you and the essence to your childhood collapses and you are forced to recognize that you have grown up, and the teachings passed to you by those that have passed away must now take effect to keep you straight and focused on you being happy…it is somehow of a paradox I think, and that is because when I got the news that my grandmother from my mother side….passed away….something also died in me, still I can not believe it is true and I certainly do not comprehend what has actually happened yet….but in time it will sink in.
And yes it is a paradox, it is a paradox because keeping focused on your happiness while those that thought you how and where to find it have passed, is terrifying for me…but still I know that keeping those lessons alive in me acting on them and letting them drive me, I keep a part of those persons with me everywhere, anywhere, always…how and why I can not explain.
It will be hard for me for a while, I’ll probably keep hidden and rethink some things, but a word of advice, make every action count and start enjoying even rainy days, even dark times have their role in this life, stay focused and always keep what makes you smile, never what pulls you down and if you lose be wise and do not lose the lesson stay strong, keep strong remember those that matter and forget those that do not and as a guitarist would say “Forever trust in who we are…”.
Gonna miss you grandma…much respect and honor….thank you for everything.
