Notes from 30,000 feet
As we descend from amongst the clouds and I see the snow frosted peaks cascading into the blanket of barren brown land below, my heart is made heavy. I want it back.
He was killed descending into a mountainous land. His plane crashed and burst into flames. A million pieces scattered on the dry land below. A million pieces of my heart broken. A million smiles and moments of laughter lost.
There is no going back. I must move forward.
Be courageous little girl. You are a grown woman now. You have opportunities and love and life to be lived out. Move those heavy feet and tired soul, you will be renewed. You will find the strength to move on when you take that first step.
The plane lands and I reluctantly step out onto the brown soil below. A new day. A new beginning. Another chance at life. Another opportunity for smiles and laughter and new love.
I wrote this during a ski vacation this year. As the plane descended my mind was bombarded with the memories of losing Mark, my husband, in a plane crash almost 5 years ago. However, I was also reminded of the positive memories we shared.
I have recently published my memoir and it is for sale on Amazon and on Create Space. It is called Young Widow: A Memoir and I hope it helps others who are grieving.
