Reply #20: I'm so sorry for your loss...

You posted such a beautiful tribute to her here, I am sure she is smiling on the beautiful tribute that you give her in every day of your life...simply by living the things she taught you and showed you.

This is a Hopi Prayer that I found on some messageboard or another...

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there,
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight
On the ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.
My Spirit is still alive...

Again, my deepest sympathies.
