I just read a post by Inland Empire Girl. It was on the loss and hope that April brings. I couldn't help but remember that April brought loss to my life, more than once. It has often felt cruel. It's a month tinged with sadness along with the joy of the coming warmth and beauty.
It was always puzzling to me why someone would "go" just when the promise of springtime had arrived. Perhaps they could see a much brighter "springtime" with their spirit eyes. For some, I know it was not a choice. That made it harder... sitting on the steps, missing a sweet friend, and hearing the songbirds continue to sing. I can only hope as those dear ones left this life for the next, they were accompanied by anthems of hope... starting with the songbirds and ending with them being greeted by a Heavenly chorus.
May April bring you hope for brighter days...

Donna, You are so right... we're not through yet. Mother's Day is hard still. My Mom actually left us on June 1st, and I had gotten a notice from Victoria Magazine that the June Issue was their last. It was our favorite! They finally did make a comeback. Whenever I pick up my copy to read, I think of Mom.
