My deepest condolences to you, Christy. At the same time, the images show two very happy people, who appear content, genuine, in love, loving, good companions. Hold it all gently, tenderly, and with reverence. You have been given a true blessing.
I lost my wonderful mother 10 years ago on July 3rd (her birthday was July 2nd). AND they say it gets easier BUT not sure it does. I think of her every second, minute, hour of everyday. I'm not there to cry with you but please no I am crying and my spirit is there with you. Bless you 🙏 ♥️
My sincere condolences to you, Christy. Those pictures convey two wonderful people to be cherished with the fondest memories. I can identify with your sorrow, but also with the deep tenderness you feel at this time. May you and your family be comforted and blessed at this time of sorrow and in your deeply held memories.
What a beautiful gentle passing. But it still no doubt leaves a grief that matches the depth of your love. Be gentle with yourself. Even as you experience sufficient strength for this weekend. As Carrie Newcomer would say and sing, “You can do this hard thing!”

💞 They were truly all of that.

At the funeral of my daugher I share this Committal Prayer:
Almighty God, hear our prayer.
We commit the body of Ingrid Johanna Laine
into your keeping.
From your earth she came;
to your mercy she returns.
No ashes, no dust—
but flesh once warmed by breath,
a soul once held in our arms.
Her body fades like morning mist
as your sun lifts over the spacious sky,
and we stand in the cool of its passing.
Bless her and keep her.
Shine upon her with grace.
Look upon her with mercy and give her peace.
Receive her, O Lord,
into your arms of forgiveness and compassion—
for she was your child
before she was ours.
We place her into your hands,
though ours are not ready
to release her.
May she rest on the wings of angels,
join the quiet chorus of heaven,
and dwell forever in your presence.
Amen.
I share your grief.
That's beautiful, Larry. Thank you so much for sharing this. Love and peace to you. 🙏🏼
Prayers for you and your family. I’ve always loved the descriptions of your parents. It feels like a loss for all of us.

How the Communication Works Now
Tonight I can’t see the shape of the moon
behind a cluster of clouds, but I see
the bright radiance seeping through the edges
and know the moon is there—
that is how it is when I speak out loud
to my father and son. Hi Dad, I say.
Hi Finn. I love you. I miss you.
And aren’t you so proud of our girl?
As I walk through the dark, scent of rain
in each breath, I can’t hear the shape
of their words in my ears. But I swear,
I feel it, the shine.

Oh that is so lovely. Thank you!
🌕 Blue Moon this Sunday, in many unexpected ways.
I’m so sorry, Christy. Had I known when I saw you tonight after the show, I would’ve squeezed you extra tight. Peace be with you.
Thanks, Erika. 🙏🏼💗
