Holding a Presence
You guys know I'm new and I'm never sure where I should post my stuff so I am posting here in DU Lounge. If it's not right, let me know and the next time I sign in I will move or remove it. Thank you!!
I posted this on another social media today but it just feels right to share it with you folks because I feel a connection all of you.
Holding a Presence
“Be mindful to Hold a Presence with your loved ones every day that may become the blessing of a future memory!”
During this Holiday Season of Passover and Easter, many families and friends will gather. No matter what Religious Holiday you celebrate this Spring or any gatherings you share throughout the year, make each memorable.
Holding a Presence is something that I mentioned in the Christmas Update I made while Tommy was alive. I will never have another moment to share with Tommy to make memories, but you have that opportunity that may be your last chance to create a precious memory with your loved ones.
Holding a Presence is something I tell people more often now than I use to. It’s my way of wishing them love in their lives, of sharing that love with others, of keeping those moments of love sacred and cherished when loved ones are gone.
During this Holiday Season and throughout the year, please take the time to embrace your loved ones a little longer than normal. Share kisses and smiles and laughter with them. Take in the sound of their voices, the warmth of their embrace. Gaze upon them a little longer and memorize their faces.
“Be mindful to Hold a Presence with your loved ones every day that may become the blessing of a future memory!”
Tommy loved when I would say that as well as “May You Be Healthy, Safe and Happy!” I’m not sure how many decades I’ve said these or how I even came about saying them. I do know I always asked in prayer to keep Tommy and me healthy, safe and happy ever since we’ve been together for 41 years. Tommy and I were our own family, and this is just a part of our own family traditions.
There will come a time for everyone when memories are all you have. Don’t waste the chance to make as many as you can!
May You and Your Loved Ones Be Healthy, Safe and Happy!
Reis, Tommy’s Loving Husband
