The following entries (from beginning runner to half marathon finisher) represents a continuing journey of tremendous grief and sorrow, and of transformation - largely through the therapeutic power of running. The sorrow that has broken my heart open wide has in time allowed me to experience the beauty of being in the present moment. And of course, without the support of family and friends to guide me, I would not have made it this far.

If you have lost someone in your life, I offer these words and verse (some Kristy's, some mine and others) with the hope it may touch your heart and help you heal.

VALENTINE



Above: Kristy's Valentine to me when she was 8

My Love,

After so many years of loving you,
After so many things we've been through,
Still I couldn't find the reason,
Tell me why am I in so much love with you?

The day you left me,
My eyes couldn't stop crying.
The day I lost you,
My heart prayed for dying.

Come back my love,
Someone's still waiting for you.
Come back my love,
Someone will always wait for you.

(Bangladesh poem)
