When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
~Kahlil Gibran~
As I look out my window this morning, I feel peace. Although the sky is cloudy, and it is definitely cold...huge, fluffy snow flakes dance in the breeze. They playfully drift, until they reach the earth, covering it in a blanket of purity.
While watching this journey, I reflect on a man who began a new passage of his own this morning. A man who blessed this Earth with his smile alone. A man who dedicated himself to his family. A man who simply and purely loved. Although an aggressive cancer, glioblastoma, took his life this morning, this man never ceased living the way he was known for. He continually stayed positive, pushed the boundaries of the condition, and most importantly... never forgot to shower love on those he held close. To those that meant the most to him....a wink and a smile will always get you by. Love to you all, and Godspeed to your sweet Papa.
