A friend lost her father today. She's a grown woman, who's had a family of her own, and a wonderful relationship with her parents. Still, I suspect that Halloween will never be the same for her.
I'm sending energy to help light his way and make his journey safe.
For some of us, Hallows Eve is a special day, the day of the year (arbitrarily chosen, but whatever) when the veil is thinnest and our ancestors and other loved ones can most easily be with us again. This is sometimes comforting to know, but always makes Halloween a little melancholy for me.
In a couple of weeks, it'll be two years since my mother passed over. I hoped to feel her presence last night at Samhain, and instead accepted that she's perhaps finally found a place to be happy and no longer needs to visit this world that brought her so much pain.
