Frankie Willow Fitzgerald: A rainbow in the clouds It has taken five months to summon the courage to share this news publicly. On October 16th, 2022 our daughter Frankie Willow Fitzgerald, passed away in our home. Frankie shone brightly for her short time with us in human form and we do not doubt that she will continue sparkling for many lifetimes. Frankie lived whole-heartedly up until her final breath and now continues on her journey as a vibrant, wild, and free spirit. She was nine years old.
Written like a Dad who poured his whole life and soul into his beloved daughter, and into making her life as fun, special, wondrous and magical as possible amid unreal challenges. What a tribute here to her presence in your lives and to the brief life she lived so well. And to love unending. Sending you and your family love and wishing you peace, solace, and the comfort of so many brightly burning memories of Frankie.
I’m so deeply sorry for your family’s loss, for the world’s loss of her light, Frankie sounds like an incredible person. My whole heart goes out to you.
Thank you for sharing her story- what a beautiful soul. Your family’s grief is so poignant and heartbreaking. There’s no better way to put it- it sucks to lose a loved but must be extraordinary painful to lose an angel. I can only hope my infant daughter learns to live a life so full and full of love.
My deepest condolences to you and your family as you bear the most tragic of losses. Your beautiful words paint a vivid picture of Frankie’s life and spirit. May she live on in your hearts and memories, and inspire others to live as she did.
I cannot imagine the grief, you, Leanne & Beau are going through. The pain will never go away. Over time, your pain will turn to fond, joyous memories of Frankie and her short lived yet vibrant life. It is fantastic to read that Frankie, outlived the original diagnosis of 12 months and brought your family immense joy for 7 more years. We don't know each other, however thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I know you have plenty of support and from family and friends. If you ever feel the need to simply reach out to a total stranger on a particularly hard day, feel free to reach out to me. I share with you, your pain. Kumar.
It is very important to understand our true Nature.
The Truth is our proper understanding of the present moment., in which we are and have our being. It is an undefined, undifferentiated, formless Awareness of Being.
If we are experiencing the present moment, why should we not think: BIG DEAL?
We have to experience our own Truth in the present moment, not some limited idea or concept of ourselves.
Our Truth includes the essence of light, love, peace, contentment, fulfillment, and a sense of completeness and wholeness, as well as an experience of already having, indeed, being, all that we could ever want or strive for.
