Forever Is...

Dearest Deniz and Guniz, Please accept these little tokens of our love and appreciation from Alex and I...We send you this song and brief prose below to honor your dear sister, Yeliz, whom we never had the fortunate chance to meet, but who lives on through your light and your great appreciation of her...We are in Turkey with you in spirit!! We love you both and are thinking of you today, and always. ~ Love, Mary and Alex

Forever Is

Forever is a day away. Forever was just yesterday. Living in our memory. Of what was, what is, and what will be. We cannot foresee the future. But we can live here in this moment, always present, taking life for what it (forever) is, for what it will (forever) be.

Like a flower that grows towards the light, we stand on this earth, this concrete jungle, trying to grab at answers. Unknowingly intuitive souls we are. For that flower one day will die, but its memory lives on through each of us, gaining strength and knowledge everyday. That, dear friend, is a gift.

Fortitude, Life-giving, Awe-powerful, Inspiring

We cannot determine why the seasons change, or why life turns out the way it has...but one thing is for certain. We will all meet again...We will see that flower again...And it will bloom like nothing our eyes have ever seen before...
