Life is a puzzle.
As we go on our journey, we collect pieces to later put together.
Some pieces are people we love or places we've lived
and others are events or experiences we've had along the way.
Each and every little piece carves and shapes
who we are and who we will become as a person.
Each piece contributes to the whole picture.
Slowly, as we collect each piece and find where it fits into our puzzle,
the big picture starts to take shape and it all begins to make sense.
When it's all put together, we feel complete.
Our life has run its course and it's time to move on to a better place.
Sometimes, life is cut short and that person's puzzle is left unfinished.
Despite that, they may have impacted many others and become a piece of their puzzles.
Through the pieces they leave behind
those lost too soon, will live on.
They will be remembered for what they shared with others
and the relationships they built.
My father's puzzle was almost whole but
We will never know how it may have turned out
Life is a puzzle and sometimes it just can't be solved.
