My Wife of 57 years was buried today beside our son,
who died in 1941 as a result if a truck accident when
he was hitchhiking to take a job. She has longed for him
all these years and know she is with him.
I know they are embraced in happiness.

Gaye's mother passed away this morning.
Rosalie Gwinn was such a special lady.
Another tragic and mournful loss of a beautiful life....
Of a Life that has helped so many people.
Of a Life that has helped so many people.
Faith and Understanding being put to the test once again.....
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross who has done much
work on Death and Dying and for which I have read
many of her books,
says without a doubt,
- None of Us Die Alone -
Our loved ones come to greet us,
to welcome us to the other side.
I remember when Gaye died, thinking how much
my father and sister, who died many years ago,
would have loved and embraced Gaye getting to know her.
To offset my longing, I hope they have.
To offset my longing, I hope they have.
I pray for peace and acceptance today
of a hopeful knowledge
that Gaye and Rosalie are re-united and the bonds
of mother and child have been re-connected.
Please let it be so....

My heart so heavy,
I almost want to be with them.
No, don't worry, I am in no particular hurry.
I take the naive risk of believing in hope and seeing
where it leads me.
(I guess I can blame Gaye for this Naivety of Hope)
where it leads me.
(I guess I can blame Gaye for this Naivety of Hope)
Someday.... I think, when I am feeling confident in my
Faith and God and recalling all the loved ones I have lost....
The thought of rejoining the loves of my "Life"
is a thought I truly cherish.
is a thought I truly cherish.
No rejoicing now though...
Just the simple, cold, hard fact of another vibrant and loving
life taken by cancer.
life taken by cancer.
