Hallelujah: One Year Later
For mobile devices click: HERE
Charles died one year ago today. Of course I have a lot of feelings on this day, but not the words to adequately describe my emotions in written form. The first thing I posted on my blog after his death was a video I made titled: Hallelujah. It was an old video I created to celebrate graduating law school. It was the only thing I could find to post that had music and pictures, that seemed to fit my feelings at the time.
All I could say then was, "Hallelujah."
So, to celebrate this day, I decided to remake the video to apply to life now; one year after Charles' death. Singing is the best way for me to release my emotions. It was hard to record the song, I cried many times and would have to start over. But I made it through eventually, and got the words I wrote out.
I just love Charles so much, it hurts. I hope you can feel how much I love him.
Love is powerful. It never dies.
This year has been full of soaring highs, and desperate lows.
One year later, I am still singing, "Hallelujah."

Beautiful Mari. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing. You are amazing and you are my hero.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Mari... Speechless.
ReplyDeleteThat song was beautiful Mari! Man, we really miss that guy. Most days I think about it in a distant sort of way with not much emotion attached. But watching that video I let myself feel as the tears ran down my cheeks. You two have a special, eternal relationship and are an example to all of us. We love Charles and we love you and the kids too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. I have been following your journey for this last year and am grateful for your strength and testimony. You have a beautiful family and I hope the best for all of you. That video and song is a beautiful tribute to Charles.
