I have been fortunate enough to be present with my family during the passing of both of our grandparents.  On Wednesday, February 3, 2010 my Grandma (Punkin) passed away.  Only 48 hours later on Friday, February 5, 2010  my Grandpa, her husband of nearly 73 years, also passed away.  The night before Punkin’s death my Grandpa sat by her bedside and said his goodbye’s.  When she said she was worried he reassured her by saying, “Don’t worry I’ll be right behind you”.  This agreement and their final days together are an amazing testament to the power of the human spirit.  They were instantly connected in High School and now will be together always.

As everyone shared their stories and memories of the grandparents and parents they knew I had the privilege of  watching as tears were transmuted into laughter.  The healing was deepened as we shared Punkin’s journal.  I realized that each of us holds our own view of the past and with it our own light on the relationships we have with one another.  It reminded me that it is fruitless to hold on to the regrets of childhood as none of us can see the picture from all sides.  There is always something larger happening; there is a gift or lesson to be received in every human connection.  My grandparents didn’t have a perfect life or marriage but I get the feeling now that they knew their love was special and their connection precious.

Received this in an e-mail from a dear friend.  I don't know where it originated from but I wanted to be sure to pass it on.

A Prosperity Blessing

“May you be blessed with an amazingly abundant day today!

May the clouds break and the heavens pour down upon you more joy, more love, more laughter and more money than you could have ever dreamed of.

May the sun shine its golden light of prosperity through every cell of your extraordinary body.

May you be cleansed today of any resistance or feelings of unworthiness that you may still be holding onto.

May your false illusions of doubt, fear and scarcity gently fall away like soft white feathers on a gentle breeze.

May you be willing, simply willing, to allow the Universe to shower you with miracles today.

May the Angels wrap you in their shining wings of opulence.

May the fairies deliver you to their pot of gold at the end of a majestic rainbow.

May your eyes shine with the glorious truth of who you really are and may that truth uplift others in your presence to their own inner knowing.

May your ears hear the sound of perfection ringing in your soul.

May you taste the deliciousness of every precious bite of life as your day unfolds moment by moment with amazing grace, heartfelt love and a bounty of magnificent money.

As this day ends, may you slumber wrapped in an exquisite blanket of enduring peace and profound gratitude.

And may the last words you speak today be Thank You!”
