When a loved one dies- where does the love go?

It’s in the small gestures of kindness we do for strangers. Holding doors, letting people in in traffic,

It’s in the way we love our families- our children, grandchildren, and friends who are like family.

It’s in the gardens we tend- the roses, tomatoes, tulips, and all the rest.

It’s in the food we cook- full of love and goodness.

It’s in the small parts of life, and I figure it fills the voids left behind by the loss of our loved ones.

Both big spaces and small, it’s in all the important parts of us. Love fills all the cracks.
