Little Sparks

The sunrises, the sunsets

The routines, the long walks

The nights in the shadows

The whispers and long talks

The dreams of tomorrows

When there's no one left 

To remember your story

When they all have passed

You've still those days of glory

Making a game of chores

Of setting up camp

Of carrying things indoors

The sweet hugs, the laughs

The big oopsys

The funny moments

The wild crazys

Let the tears open

Your own little mark

On the earth before you go

Each a little spark

Adds light for others to grow

[Verse 1] The sunrises, the sunsets The routines, the long walks The nights in the shadows The whispers and long talks The dreams of tomorrows When there's no one left To remember your story When they all have passed [Pre-Chorus] You've still those days of glory Making a game of chores Of setting up camp Of carrying things indoors [Chorus] Little sparks, little sparks (Add a little spark) Sweet hugs, the laughs (The funny moments, the wild crazys) Little sparks, little sparks (Add a little spark) On the earth before you go Let it light the road [Verse 2] The sweet hugs, the laughs The big oopsys The funny moments The wild crazys Let the tears open Your own little mark On the earth before you go Each a little spark [Pre-Chorus] Each a little spark Adds light for others to grow If your hands got tired You still left a glow [Chorus] Little sparks, little sparks (Add a little spark) Sweet hugs, the laughs (The funny moments, the wild crazys) Little sparks, little sparks (Add a little spark) On the earth before you go Let it light the road [Bridge] When the room goes quiet When the names fade out What you gave in motion Still moves on now So leave the bread half-broken Leave the floor well-worn Leave a mark that guides them After you are gone [Final Chorus] Little sparks, little sparks (Add a little spark) Sweet hugs, the laughs (The funny moments, the wild crazys) Little sparks, little sparks (Add a little spark) On the earth before you go Let it light the road Little sparks, little sparks (Add a little spark) Each a little spark Still lighting the road

A marriage is the most intimate of bonds. You come together, and each one becomes part of a whole, almost a single being. Every thought, every decision, is affected by them, is made with the understanding of what they want and need You fall into a routine of facing the world together, relying on each other, working like a perfect team. It becomes what defines you. And suddenly, they are gone. No closure, no reason for it that you can wrap your head around, and suddenly your reason for so much of what you did, isnt there anymore. Its damned hard, the absence never goes away, some days ypu dont even want to leave the house, even though everywhere you look you see artifacts they left behind...a coffee mug, a shirt hanging in the back of the closet, a thousand different things You sometimes feelnisolated from the rest of the world, and cant remember how to reach out and engage with people anymore. But you have to keep on, keep surviving one day at a time. Because, thats what they would want you to do. You arent alone. And you are understood

He was 36 when he died. Everything died with him & to be cut off like that hurts. Talking helps so if you'd like to talk about him, please share. Many of us are out there that will listen.
