Sharing Without ... Fear, Shame....Condition...

A tree in

Palm Harbor Florida

with a Plaque

in the ground

surround a beautiful Magnolia Tree

that was planted to

remember

LANDON

with a ring of flowers

by a loving neighbor

REMEMBERING A CHILD

Landon Korabek

the teenage son

of

Susan and Greg Korabek

Susan and Greg walk past that tree each day

filled with memories, with HOPE, with the knowing they have such great friends to walk this journey with them,

under the sky knowing

"there is no distance"

Landon is there!

Good morning morning

coffee is hot, as I sit and enjoy this morning and filled with amazing grace at the resiliency of the

human spirit.

December 12

people across the globe are preparing, are readying themselves for the annual

Compassionate Friends

world-wide gatherings

where they will gather to share

their children with others,

without

FEAR

without

Shame

without

Condition

They will step out of their comfort zones, while across time zones, they will gather.

Collectively the world will light their candles and

Remember the child

all

gone too soon.

Those who have never walked this path,

will also light a candle and

Remember the Children

and

Will offer their thoughts

for those who have.

They will send prayers and thoughts to the parents, the grandparents, friends, and siblings

while uniting in what is thought to be the largest mass

candle lighting across our globe,

giving

HOPE

and light of healing ways.

There will be memories shared,

there will be the feelings that our children are right there in the room with us

Sunday night, their presence will be felt.

We will have and will hear stories of messengers that brought signs to us that they are still with us

since their death.

We will hear words spoken,

perhaps there will be a word, a poem,

something that is said

that will bring comfort.

It may be that something just

"clicks"

and healing happens as a candle is lit.

HOPE

is there if only we are open to receive it.

There will be opportunities to meet others who

"get it", who "understand" the road that has been traveled and who have moccasins with similar holes in their souls of walking such painful and unfamiliar paths known as grief.

Sunday Dec 12

when the candles are lit

in New Port Richey

there will be a remarkable slide show

of all the children shown

of those that are there,

we will see the precious children

all ages, and be with those who loved them.

This slide show is put together by a parent and

member of the Compassionate Friends

and wonderful Mom, and woman

Diane ( always look forward to those hugs each year).

ALL

precious children

GONE TOO SOON

All ages, all causes of death, all

GONE TOO SOON

All will gather across this vast globe

lighting their candles

at

7pm (sharp) as the lights of the world

light up the night

Remembering the children

and

Light the night and the day

for our children

the worlds children

and those who love them

with the warmth, and light of

HOPE and the vision to see through the

pain of loss.

the beloved daughter

of

Jim and Andrea Gasse

"gone too soon"

Jaren is still here, in each butterfly that lights on her Mom and Dad from out of nowhere, each dolphin that shows up on Honeymoon Island within inches of her Mom's face,

often in ways unimagined!

"There is no distance"

if and when we are ready to receive

the gifts of their presence from the

next place!
