A light is out.
One less positive force to tip the scales for the side of good
One less person in the world who loves children
One less bright shining face
One less sister
One less daughter
One less wife
One less friend
One less teacher
One less anchor
One more angel
words defy the plans
It's not just about my Mom anymore..

This is so beautiful. Such a powerful impact with the subtle simplicity, and concise description of your loved one. A somber tone, with undertones of reverent gratitude and admiration. Then the build from, “A light is out,” to, “One more angel.” … be still my heart. That made me take a breath. And her light does still shine, through your words. I feel it so strongly.
I am sorry for your loss – for the world’s loss of this beautiful soul. Heaven’s gain. Peace to you.
Thinking of everyone that knew and appreciated this light. It still shines. You managed to do that with your words.
Beautifully written. The sense of loss builds with each additional line. Your ending, though, is my favorite. “One more angel.”
Wow! So beautifully written! One more angel……,just meant so much!
So beautiful. I think of the ripple effect caused by a stone skipping across the water and how one person’s life can so positively impact those around them.
I got to the end with a pit in my stomach…thinking about how a loss feels that we’re left with less. The addition of “one more angel” helps to soften the weight of the pain. This is breathtakingly beautiful, Carrie!
I feel your sorrow and loss in a beautiful tribute. She must have been special. Know what? I think you carry her light now . . .
Carrie, what a beautiful eulogy – “one less anchor, one more angel”
That was so well written! You left me speechless š¦
I’ve read this several times now, each time your words touch me more and more. Your words let us know through all the pain it’s okay because there’s “one more angel.” Beautifully written!
That first line, the choice to place a pause, a stop to life. It’s like the end, but as I read on to the last line, I see there is a new beginning. Life is not ending, but rather continuing to something even greater. Thinking of you and those who an angel has touched.
