This one struck deep. Thank you for being so vulnerable in your writings, and highlighting the impermanence of life. This is something at least I need to be reminded of during the hectic daily life. Thank you 🙏❤️

Your words carry the weight of a mother’s unspoken hours—every sentence a prayer to the time that couldn’t be held. There’s such grace in how you honour both sons here, the lost & the living. Holding you in my heart, Rea.

Gone in an instant.

Poof! Impermanent us, all.

That is, except Love.

Thank you for sharing your feelings about your son's death. Losing him suddenly, and too soon, changed everything in your life. Your thoughts on time are powerful. Any of us can be lost, or lose someone, in an instant. There are no promises. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

Thank you for your compassion, Stephanie. Life is very uncertain. We need to be present and treasure every moment. 💞

Thank you for sharing this truth, Rea. We get into our everyday busyness and dramas and it's easy to forget that we have only the present. Thank you for sharing your journey with your son. Through your writings, you are both helping others.
