A life forever gone
Author
Karla Solano
There are no words to express the pain felt when a loved one passes away; it is as if a piece of our soul broken by the pain decided to also leave with them. This important part of our existence is one that we can never be ready for. It always takes us by surprise, when we least expect it, leaving a big empty void in our hearts.
Life brings us these experiences to show us how vulnerable we really are and during these circumstances I can’t help but think about how much we take for granted the people in our lives. Moments such as these are a strong reminder on how important it is to enjoy every single minute of our existence here on earth, we must learn to show our love and our appreciation to those wonderful people who with their presence have made an impact on our life.
Life is too short to live it sad, worrying about shallow things, because when the people we love are gone the only thing that is left is the grief and the regrets of what we could have done differently to have spent one last moment of joy with that person.
Our life can be taken away in a flash, one minute we are here and the next we can be gone. So let’s learn to cease each moment and embrace life like it is the last day of our existence; learning to live it with love, leaving all the grudges and resentments behind, learning to forgive those who have caused us pain but most importantly living from our hearts.
I invite you to open up your hearts and fully embrace those loved ones whom you have lost touch with throughout the years, take a moment to make amends and let go of your pride by letting those you care about know how much you really love them. Don’t waste any time leaving things for tomorrow because in reality today is all we have and tomorrow may never come…
In memory of those who have passed away and have left a mark in our lives
You will be forever missed.

A gesture of love ( from a 7yr old)
Author
Karla Solano
I have been very blessed to encounter wonderful people in my life who have brought me not only many memories of joy but also many growing lessons; one of these people happens to be my 7yr old nephew. His name is Adrian and he happens to be the love of my life, this boy was born to not only bring us together as a family unit but also to give us one of the most important gifts anyone can give…the gift of Love.
His existence has caused a shift in me and my family and his presence has filled our lives with light and joy. There is not a day that goes by in which the radiance of his love goes unnoticed. His charming smile lights up a whole room no matter how dense the energy may be and his sense of humor brightens up our day with the funny things he comes up. Sometimes I wonder how someone so young could be so charismatic, not to mention thoughtful and caring.
Adrian’s love and caring nature touched me in a very deep way this past weekend when as I laid in bed not feeling well he took it upon himself (with the help of his mother) to prepare breakfast for me, not only did he help cook for the breakfast but he also brought it to my bed with a card that he made which read “feel better- made with love- Adrian”; this simple gesture of love has managed to touch me in such a profound manner as to inspire me to write this article about him.
I am so thankful to have a considerate and kind gentleman as my nephew, for this type of chivalry is not learned; his true nature is shining through like a diamond in the desert and it is nice to know that he will grow up to be a loving and caring man. A man who will in turn touch many lives in a positive way as he has touched me at such a young age.
This article is written to celebrate all the wonderful children who are on this planet who with their love and light brighten up our lives each day. Let’s encourage their kind behavior and show them by example how to live in a unified, loving way, for they are the hope of our future as ONE human race.
