In loving memory of Kalei Holizki January 23, 1985 August 20, 2001 “My Sweetie Pie, after 22 years’ time has finally brought your old Mom a different kind of grief. On most days the harsh pain of the early years has been replaced with a gentle ache. While I will always long for more, I have learned to live joyfully again thanks to time and the many gifts you and God have brought into my life. My Michael, my new…..
August 20th and another year…21
In Loving Memory Kalei Jasmine Holizki January 23, 1985 – August 20, 2001 “My Sweetie Pie, there is no doubt you left a permanent space in this world when you died. Even after all these years precious memories bring smiles. Unfulfilled dreams, well, not so much. Your spirit continues to be a part of my life and the lives of those who love you. When we ‘feel’ a gentle Angel push in the right direction we are grateful. When we…..
In loving memory ofKalei Jasmine HolizkiJanuary 23, 1985 – August 20, 2001 “My Sweetie Pie, it’s hard to believe you have been dead for 20 years. I thought time would make today easier but decade triggers hit hard. I can’t stop myself from thinking about who, what and where you would be at 36 years, 6 months and 28 days old. Would you be career driven and me cheering you on all the way? Would you be a mom and…..
In Loving Memory Kalei Jasmine Holizki January 23, 1985 – August 20, 2001 “My Sweetie Pie, today marks another year and another new #. 2020 and 19 years since you died. While I can no longer be mentally defeated by your death, my body continues to communicate grief in the only way it knows how. With sighs, tears and a bowed head. While I wish it to be otherwise, that grief language has become as much a part…..
In Loving Memory Kalei Jasmine Holizki January 23, 1985 – August 20, 2001 “My Sweetie Pie, 2019 marks 18 years since your earth life ended. I cannot help but bow my head in sorrow as I FEEL the truth of those words. Even now, grateful as I am for the gift of 16 years together, I long for more time with you. Here with me! By my side! Where you belong! And then, I smile as my mind takes…..
Happy Birthday My Sweetie Pie! It is hard to believe you were born 34 years ago today. That moment seems like just yesterday. How I wish the universe had chosen a different path for you and I. But it did not. .And so my Angel, I will continue to treasure the 16+ years of sweet birthday celebrations and do my very best to treasure the last 17+ years of bittersweet birthday moments. I send you hugs and kisses all the…..
March 16, 2018 marks a very important day in my grieving journey. Why? At 0731 hours today, Kalei will have been dead as long as she lived. It might come as a surprise to people to learn I knew about this day a very long time ago. Shortly after Kalei was killed, I felt a need to know when this day, hour and minute would arrive. As to exactness of the end cessation of life, I feel obligated to insert…..
In making my decision to keep writing blogs I knew I could only do so if I interspersed some regular universe stories/lessons among the more spiritual/parallel universe/grief ones. Not only does writing about my regular universe experiences give me a greater depth of understanding of myself, but it also helps me maintain perspective if the experience wasn’t exactly, well, positive. In a previous blog I wrote a bit about my about online dating experience. I might have been a ‘wee’…..
First and foremost, please accept my apologies for not posting a blog since August. It wasn’t because I could not think of anything to write — nothing could be farther from the truth. The truth is I just did not want to write, no, make that think, about grief, at least for a while. No thinking by default meant no writing. For those of you that have faithfully read all the stories on Kalei’s original website and now my Forever…..
