I'm Giving Thanks To The Air
In The Space We Used To Share
You Were Just There
Now You're Everywhere
And Nowhere
Somehow Existing
In The Space Between The Air
You'll Never Be There In That Exact Spot
Not All Of You Anyway
So I'm Giving Thanks To The Air
'Cause That's All I Got
Many find it hard to find gratitude or "think of the good memories" and the like during grief, and this gets worse over the holidays. Thanksgiving is often about thanks and grace, which is hard to come by. Even though it's sad, we can still craugh* our way through a memory and bring them closer, if just for a moment.
Craughing = Crying + Laughing
Join us if you'd like to craugh and share with others today. If you can't, write about your memory or craugh with someone you love.
#WeeklyMemoryPrompt
What can you be grateful for in this moment? How has them being in your life filled you with joy and grace? Let's spend a few moments being thankful for the time we had together, then find one special memory we can craugh about and write.
