Celebration

 

This weekend should be a celebration of the lives of those who have passed over into the light and who have left with us special memories to treasure whenever we bring them to mind.

These memories are the legacy they have left for us to enjoy and to be mindful that their journey was important; they contributed to the best of their ability to our learning experience about life as well as others who knew them. They were an important part of all that we are and so should be celebrated with love and joy.

Once we let go of the sorrow of their passing and allow wonderful memories of time spent together in joy and happiness, the lightness of spirit that this brings is a true celebration of a beautiful spirit that was a part of our journey here on earth.

I had an uncle killed in World War II at the age of 19.His name was Melvin James Todisco, Jimmy to all who knew him He died before I was born so the only things I knew about him were related through my grandparents and his siblings. Whenever he was talked about, it was with a smile and a very fond memory of the things he accomplished, how he could make you laugh, or several abilities he had. There was always a very loving story told about him whenever he was remembered.

He was a of course not perfect, I am sure that he had his faults as all humans do, but he was remembered for the things that were joyful and happy. The things that made people smile when they thought of him.

This is the real celebration isn't it? The memory of one loved, missed, but still important in the fabric of their lives. The acknowledgment that he left such positive feelings in those lives he touched.

His of course was the supreme sacrifice, his life for his country. There are many of our loved ones who have done the same, they will never be forgotten and always remembered with love and great appreciation.

Whomever you are celebrating this weekend, keep the good memories close to your heart. By going forward and being all that you are to the fullest, you honor their time here with you. When you do this you validate all that they were and the importance of their life to yours.

Celebrate all that they were during their time here.

 

They of course, are watching with infinite love as you progress through the rest of your journey here.

Many Blessing to All!
