Oh Tara.

I feel every letter of every word. You have described right down to the heartbeat, how I feel since Jake made the decision to leave his body as it no longer served him here. He is no longer contained. His energy and being are freed. He is now the light and energy that surrounds us.

And how right you are. There is no difference. Amongst the sadness, the worry, the wondering...all that remains is love. Some days it easy to feel and all else falls away, allowing it to wash over me. Some days it feels like the weight of a boulder pressing the breath from my chest and my agony is overwhelming. But it is love nonetheless. And intertwined into it all are the memories. The ones where I think "oh, Jake would have loved this meal I made" or "Jake loved being outside, he'd have loved being here on the lake with us". In those moments I almost, just almost forget that he is gone.

And it is also in those moments that I know he is so very near. Hearing my every thought, feeling every bit of love flowing from the tears falling down my face.

He is the breeze. He is the songs of the birds. He is the sunshine through the clouds.

Thank you Tara...for helping me to see through your eyes, that love remains.

Much love always to you and your family. I will always hold space for you in my heart. 💛

Tara, I don't quite know what to say. There is so much beauty and so much pain and so much love and so much loss in these words.

I can only thank you for sharing them and send you all my love.
