Afterglow ...


Well I've written and re-writen this message quite a few times. Words have failed me now. I can not expresss the deep loss I feel or the extreme sense of sorrow I have for Mike's and Dylan, Dean and Darcy's loss. I need to know my brother will be okay. I gently and from a distance have followed him around (like someone else we know) these past few days to make sure he is okay.

Now the toughest part begins. Letting go so they can heal in their own way and in their own time. Letting go so I can heal. Immediately Mike and the kids are going to Florida. They will regroup and figure out a way to be 4. They need to learn to stand on their own 8 legs as Mike says. I get to go back to my own life. Come Monday morning at 9:00am, for the first time in months I will have "nothing" to do. I know I won't be alone. There are lots of places I can go. For a coffree. I wish though, just one more time it could be with Jo.

Even though Jo's gone we can live well in her memory and feel her presence and know we are truly better people for knowing her. This songs means a lot to me and it represent hope on the other side of sorrow, that we can live well in loss and be touched by Joanne's life. Her beauty. Her radiance. Her afterglow.

Love, hugs and a few "foreheads"
Kim

Afterglow
INXS - (Andrew Farriss, Desmond Child)

Here I am

Lost in the light of the moon
That comes through my window
Bathed in blue
The walls of my memory
Divides the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow
In your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go

I will find my way
When I see your eyes
Now I'm living
In your afterglow

Here I am
Lost in the ashes of time
But who owns tomorrow
In between
The longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow
I'm losing control
My mind drifts away
We only have today

Touch me and I will follow
In your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go

I will find my way
I will sacrifice
Till that blinding day
When I see your eyes
Now I'm living
In your afterglow

When the veils are gone
As I let you go
As I let you go

Touch me and I will follow
In your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go

I will find my way
I will sacrifice
Now I'm living
In your afterglow
Bathed in blue
The walls of my memory
Divides the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest
