Bumblebee
I was walking at the park on a very windy day with a friend of mine when we suddenly heard a loud crack, it was a large tree branch breaking due to the wind. I smiled at my friend and said “imagine that years and years were actually needed for this tree to grow this enormous branch, yet the wind broke it in a second”. I landed my hand on my heart feeling suffocated but acted normal. I guess that’s what all humans do. Despite the cracking that happens from time to time we always end up growing new branches to compensate the ones we have lost. I guess that’s the right thing to do, I guess…when you lose a person you feel like there is a part in you which is hollow, a part that nobody will be able fill because that part in you was specially left blank for that particular person to fill.
Everybody has a different way to deal with that hollow part and everybody tries so hard in order to make that part functional, in order to forget, move on, or even maybe let go ,but the truth is we never let go, we never ever forget, and we do not move on. The truth is that we learn how to live with that hollow part, we learn to embrace the fact we are not a whole, we learn too much from that little hole created from a loss and we change because we learn that life is a matter of moments, one minute you are sitting surrounded by people who you love and next they are no longer there. We learn how to appreciate everyone in our lives, we learn not to hurt, to be always helpful, to be kind, generous, and to always remember that one day you might not be here and that you could become that tiny hole left in others hearts. It teaches you to value life more.
I’ve been left with a blank space in the best part of my heart when you were gone, you taught me to be a better person and for that I am forever grateful. When you were on earth we created countless memories and now as you are by God’s side those memories are treasured till we meet again.
