Dear Lena,
Having just lost a parent myself three weeks ago, I know that in your chest there is a huge, painful, unquenchable, raw crater and feeling of immense emptiness that you are feeling right now. Even though you did not see the angel, you felt the wonderful comfort of your father's wings. Your shining so brightly is a testament to him, for we are all reflections of people who came before us. His living taught you about true life; his death teaches you about true sorrow, but in that sorrow, he teaches you about true love. The 23rd Psalm says,"for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me." May the love and peace which pass all understanding be with you and your family especially at this time of your profound loss.
