One Third of My Light Is Gone

"...And the fourth angel sounded the trumpet, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened. And the day did not shine for a third part of it,, and the night in like manner." --Rev. 8:12

I have three sons. One of them is in the spirit world. On October 26, 2009, one third of the light in my life went out forever.

Altar

We have a special place in our dining room for Maris.
On this altar are his ashes, several ankhs, his picture and some of his special items such as a little knife, and his dog tags. There is a tiny bear he gave to Philip, and offerings other people have made such as a little wax behive and an aromatherapy burner from Demetria. There are a special Hawaii cup and a plate for food and other offerings. I like to offerhis favorite things, such as blueberries. Sometimes we just offer what we have, so he is included, and hopefully he isenjoying sharing with us.
The picture over the altar is the goddess Persephone,Queen of the Underworld, who weland sheltersthe souls and takes care of them until they are ready to be reborn. This particular Persephone is a pre-Raphaelite painting by Rosetti.
