This Year's List: 40 Ways to Remember
Gretchen would have been 40 tomorrow so I am working my way through a list of 40 ways to remember her and stay connected.
Turns out I read The Art of Living by Thich Nhat Hanh at exactly the right time - just before I prepared my 2019 list, allowing me to feel more connected to her as I execute the project. From Hanh, p. 30:
"...Our loved one is still alive within us and around us....We can still talk to them. We can say something like, 'I know you are there. I'm breathing for you. I'm smiling for you. I'm enjoying looking around with your eyes. I am enjoying life with you. I know that you are still there very close to me, and that now you continue in me.'"
Gretchen, I'm smiling for you.
