Rest in Peace, Lisa

This past week my family suffered a terrible loss when my cousin's fiancee unexpectedly passed away. This letter is for her.


Dear Lisa,

Family is not defined by ceremonies. I've always maintained that love, like time and space, is a dimension. In which bonds are forged but remain unaffected by things such as distance or minutes, hours, days, months or years. Love exists outside of all laws, histories, borders. Bonds created on the plane of love can only be undone on the plane of love. It's those bonds you have with all of us that will forever make you an integral part of our family. Though in space and time you've left us, in love you'll be there always, your soulshine lighting that which the sun can't reach. Our hearts. We love you.

Kevin
