Corey's Birthday Candles

Corey would start talking about the Perseid meteor shower weeks before her birthday, calling friends and arranging the party where they could celebrate the light that streams from so far away.
Lying in the yard this morning before dawn watching them with my cousin, the light streams seemed so close, "so personal," Candace said. And the light is unbelievably brilliant. Most of the blazing particles we see in this meteor shower are as small as a grain of sand, but their light is of a quality that is unlike anything I have ever seen. 

Today, when Corey would have turned the big Three-0, I think of those streams of light as Corey's birthday candles. and like the blazes we see in the Perseid meteor shower, Corey's light shines on, so brilliantly, not to be forgotten.

    Love Is Stronger Than Death

    These entries are part of an upcoming book about love and grief, in honor of Corey Considine, my beautiful younger daughter. She was with us in physical form from August 12,1983 to June 6, 2013. It was a vehicle accident, at the end of a beautiful sunset she had just watched from her favorite hill. She was engaged to a wonderful young man, dabbling in art, planting gardens, planning her wedding, offering love, care, and healing to everyone she knew.

    Since that time, those of us who love her have had to work hard to deal with our grief and to be sure that the sense of loss does not overpower the love. To find a way to let our love for Corey grow. When your beloved is no longer walking on this earth, the love you had for them does not stop.
    Love is stronger than death.
