Hi Lord,
Today I had to say goodbye to a lady that has been part of my life for
well over a decade, and while driving to the church, I mentioned to Tim
that it seems to be a time in our life where our friends are leaving
us. In one day, two friends passed away. On one hand, I am
devastated, on the other hand, I am happy there is no more pain, they
have reached their goal of heaven. It is hard to cry when I imagine
them as cancer free, dancing with their family who have already passed
on.
But how long will it be before I don't open my email and expect a joke
from jean, or sit down and start writing a letter to Annie?
I found myself paying for friends and classmates. I lost both my
parents years ago, I have adjusted to the feeling of being an orphan.
Several are now dealing with their parents being ill, struggling with a
variety of health issues. So many are losing the ones closest to them
and are struggling with depression, loss and loneliness.
I don't know who came up with time heals all wounds, but I found love
heals better than time. My friends love and support healed me.
Knowing I am not alone, that heals me. And I pray I can be the for
others.
You are never alone. I love you.
