Eric, it's ok to feel sad. It is. Feel it, let it wash over you and then get back on the path.

If you hold onto the sadness and the whatifs and the guilt,it will anchor you to this spot. Don't let it throw you off course.

You have your memories. No one can take them away from you. But your life is not over. There will be many more happy memories for you.

Sweetie, I dont want to see you lose any ground by holding onto to stuff that you can't do anything about.

Come on now, time to dust yourself off and continue on your journey. And trust that you do it with Him by your side.
