You know, it’s Day 2 of this challenge, and when I asked God for guidance on what to post, I was shown my dad.
Great… a trip down memory lane that I didn’t ask for.
My dad took his own life six days before Christmas 2009.
As soon as I tune in, I can feel there’s still grief and loneliness here that I haven’t processed—and this is what I mean when I talk about healing: it comes in waves.
Sometimes we have to visit the past to make sure it’s complete—to gather the lessons so we can move forward with wisdom and compassion.
This time, when I look back, I see I need to forgive the people who were in his life then.
For a long time I blamed them, thinking, If it wasn’t for them, he’d still be alive.
But the truth is, they were in his life because he let them be.
He did what he did because God gives each of us free will.
So I’ll forgive what I can, and whatever I can’t, I’ll hand to God—for God’s capacity is greater than mine.
I miss Jack Marry.
He was a genius with his own limiting beliefs and unprocessed pain, who will never see Reya smile like in this photo.
If you’re reading this, what is one event in your life that could go through a second round of alchemy right now?
Tonight, I’ll honor my dad.
His legacy lives on. 🫶🏻
