Love Hope and Prayers to Kurt, friends and family!

03/12/2006

It’s been almost a year since dad came home from work and said he had bad news, he looked like he had been crying and the last thing I expected was that Kurt had died. Kurt was like an uncle to my sisters and I, he was always supportive of anything we did and always looking out for our safety. When he died I felt like I lost the support that he gave me when I danced, we were struggling with leadership issues and so with him leaving us so suddenly my family and I left the dance group as suddenly as Kurt left. Nobody expected us to leave just like nobody expected Kurt to of all things die in a car accident. Dancing was something I did where I felt beautiful and I could feel graceful gliding across the floor. You see I’m known for tripping over cords and running into low objects (coffee tables are an example). Having left the dance group I was left with not one but two empty spots because even though Kurt was gone from this earth I really know he’s looking down at us and giving everyone the same love and support he gave us while he was here where we could see him, I didn’t open up to let that love in. My second empty spot was me not performing with the dance group, not being able to dance, laugh, and love with friends. So when I realized that I hadn’t lost Kurt really and that I needed to dance at least to do it for Kurt in memory of him. I know it’s almost a year from when he died but if you are going through the same thing as I did (loosing Kurt left you without support and you stopped doing what you loved) please open your hearts to his love it feels different like when you give a new friend a hug but it’s Kurt we just can’t see or feel him physically. And if anyone looses a friend just a close as Kurt was to a lot of us please do the same you never lose that person totally you still always have their love and support.
Love, Hope and Prayers,
