Like anyone who has lived enough years, I’ve lost a loved one. And on the day of their death, I try to reminisce and think about when they were alive. Reflect on their life. Remember who they were.
Which is a very sad event indeed, and it usually leaves me crying by the end. I miss them, and it’s so hard to be here without them.
But what we should always remember is that you are a reflection of the people you love. You are just a mirror image of the people that you call friends because your likeness recognizes likeness in them. And so, if you’re missing a loved one, simply be the mirror to their life. Live as if you lived for them. Reflect and be reflected. And you will live and walk in their light.

Very true – people come in and out of our lives and each one leaves us something of a gift. I remember my mother and grandmother – the two ladies that impacted my life profoundly. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Having recently lost my mum, I really get your mirror analogy. Lovely post. Ian
