I Won't Let You Go

All Saints' Day (Latin Sollemnitas Omnium Sanctorum) is a Christian feast commemorating all the saints, the "glorified members of the Church who have already reached perfection," both known and unknown. The feast is celebrated in the Western Church on November 1, and in the Orthodox Churches on the first Sunday after Pentecost.

Many people visit the graves of their relatives on this day and the following All Souls' Day. All Souls' Day in the Catholic Church is the day of remembrance for all the deceased. It is a widespread custom to decorate the graves with lights on these days.

On the eve, October 31, in the United States and many countries of Europe folk customs are celebrated Halloween. The word Halloween is derived from the English term All Hallows Eve, the liturgical eve of All Saints' Day. In its current form, which has come back from North America, it has taken on a highly commercialized and secularized form.

So today my minds are with my father! He past away almost 3 years ago.

You past away but my memories still are here. And a person is just gone if we do not think about him anymore. Soon, the 14th of November is your Birthday and i keep our lifetime moments in my heart!

Today marks the anniversary of the day when nothing was the same anymore. From one second to the next, my world was torn apart. Since then, nothing is as it was and I'm just coming home from the cemetery. You fought for your life for a few weeks back then - but in the end the other side won! Weeks full of hope and fear were in vain. But time passes and yet life must go on without you. Today I miss you so much. All the memories come flooding back. Very emotional. And whenever I can't find words anymore I try to express myself with pictures. There would be so many things to tell. But it was no longer granted to us. You will always be in my heart - my beloved dad!

Tracks in the sand

One night I had a dream:

I was walking along the sea with my master.

Against the dark night sky

shone, like streaks of light,

images from my life.

And each time I saw two footprints in the sand,

my own and my master's.

When the last image passed my eyes

I looked back.

I was startled to discover

that in many places of my life's journey

there was only a trace to be seen.

And those were the hardest times of my life.

Concerned, I asked the Lord:

"Lord, when I began to follow you,

you promised me

to be with me in all my ways.

But now I discover

that in the hardest times of my life

there is only a trace in the sand.

Why did you leave me alone

when I needed you most?"

Then he answered, "My dear child,

I love you and will never leave you alone,

especially in times of need and difficulty.

There, where you have seen only a trace

you have seen,

I have carried you."
