Yesterday was Kourtney's day. It was a day filled with emotions & feelings: hard; painful; heart-wrenching; mourning; loss; grief. There were also other feelings & emotions present: caring; comfort; tenderness; faith; hope; gratitude. But mostly there was love, family and friends - and that makes it all bearable.
I was humbled and awestruck by the outpouring of love and support for Kourtney, Dan, Kazia, Kadrey, & Jaxon. Not only for them, but also for the extended family. It was an amazing day! So many people came, many of them strangers to me. In my little world I sometimes forget that my kids have lives, friends and co-workers of their own. It was wonderful to see so many of them there to lend support.
I was most especially touched as, at the end of the graveside service, each of my children spontaneously walked up, hugged Kazia and held her in their arms. It isn't always something they do with each other.
One small little precious girl with a huge marvelous spirit, whose powerful presence and silent sermons have touched our lives for good, changed our hearts forever, taught us to value what is really important, inspired us, and motivated us to be better people. Truly, she is a gift directly from the loving arms of God. Now, having perfectly completed her mortal tasks, she is safely back in those same loving arms from whence she came.
Our lives will never be the same, but today is a new day - we all need to adjust and find a new sense of what is 'normal' for us. I have every confidence that with faith in God, hope for the future, & courage to live each day the very best way we can, we all will move forward with peace & purpose - and with love in our hearts. Time will pass, but our loving memories will always keep us closely connected to our precious angel Kourtney.
