Pain turning into memory

This too shall pass; time is the healer of all pain. These words are words we all hear when we lose a loved one. They are not comforting whilst one is in the mist of sadness. In them though there is truth.
The untimely departure from us left us in so much pain, living one day at a time. Waking up thinking you’ll still be there. In time Zolani we will learn to accept what has happened. We will find it in our hearts to forgive, for in our hearts we know you loved peace. Your parting was not sweet, well passing on is never sweet. But yours was bitter, for it felt it was fit for vultures to part from this earth violently, but not a kind, warm young man like you.
Pain has become our daily routine; we all phone each other, trying to comfort each other, while we’re all in pain. With each day that goes by, we will learn to share memories of your life; we will fall in love with your Hip hop music. For those are some of the memories we have of you. We will find the words in your loved songs, to bring us closer to you. You may be gone, but your memory will live on in our hearts. Your works of Art are left behind so we could feel you through them.
The pain we feel now will in time be sweet memories of your young life. We will right about you and we will engrave your name in our hearts. We know someday we will be reunited with you, not in this life, but in the next.
All we can do is close our eyes and feel your spirit around us and the love you had for each and every one of us.
