Yesterday was 1 year ago that Akira had surgery

Yesterday was 1 year ago that Akira had surgery and leg amputated and my brother was in surgery yesterday when his heart stopped. He is now fighting his own battle for life.

I took great peace knowing Akira is with me every moment and on a day I thought I'd be grieving her surgery again, instead felt and heard her with me with such love and support.

For some this might sound odd, but I now personally know that our loved ones are always with us, and while there is definitely no getting around grieving their physical body and presence, their love and spirit are always with us.

On the plane waiting to take off for Billings to be with my brother. Praying that he comes out of this and has more life to experience. Lots of love surrounding him. Prayers appreciated ❤🙏
