Nuair ata siad imithe...

I sat today in pensive silence. Listening to the word of god, to the readings, to the gospel and watched as everybody in unison recited prayers. Prayers which are centuries old and in my mind outdated but today those outdated prayers brought people together. We gathered to remember our family members who have passed away. Everybody was gathered in recognition of sadness, of death and collective heartbreak. A strong showing of the fact that grief never disappears because of memories, the things that keep our loved ones in our hearts.

I looked to the sky tonight and I remembered those who are no longer with us, the brightest stars that shine with the most sparkle, a reflection of the people that they represent, this is my way of grieving,if you could call it that, and of remembering with sadness and with joy the amazing people they were on this earth and the sadness which their passing brought.
