My first European trip in this LGW (Less Gaye World)

"Grief can take care of itself,

but to get the full value of joy

you must have somebody to

divide it with"

- Mark Twain

That somebody has been my friends

to help divide the grief.

I have been so blessed.

"In everyone's life, at sometime,

our inner fire goes out.

It is then burst into flame by an encounter

with another human being.

We should all be thankful for those people who

rekindle the inner spirit."

-Albert Schweitzer

"Might not be tonight, tomorrow, or the next day.... but everything's gonna be OK"

Hope, Faith and Love in Spain

Candle I lit in memory of Gaye at the Cathedral of Barcelona
(Bottom Row, only candle in focus)

"Hear with your heart,
See with your soul,
Be guided by a hand that you cannot hold,
Trust even if you cannot see.
That's how faith must be."

"When you have come to the edge of all light that you know

And are about to drop off into the darkness

of the unknown,

Faith is knowing one of two things will happen:

There will be something solid to stand on

or

You will be taught to fly"

- Jonathon Livingston Seagull

"There is nothing that wastes the body like worry,
and one who has any faith in God should be
 ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever”
- Mohatma Ghandi


"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle.
I just wish He didn't trust me so much"
- Mother Teresa

Amen

(How do folks get through life without Faith, Hope and Love?
At this juncture in my life, it is more critical than Oxygen)

GoD and my DoG love me unwaveringly. I am learning to accept this blessing...

A friend sent me the below video.

I thank God everyday for

the love and affection of Deacon.

Beautiful in his simplicity

Monumental in its Comprehension.

I like to think that there is something Divine in Deacon

to remind me of the unconditional love

that God has for me

to help me cope with loss.

I know without reservation
 there is a part of God reflected in Deacon...

Faith, Hope and Love licking my face everyday....
