Not Much To Say

I don't have much to say, but I wanted to say it anyway.

The Gift of Life

At a certain point in everyone's life, they begin to contemplate death. The loss of a family member, a pet, someone you heard about on the internet can bring the thought closer than you want in just a moment. Focusing on the life lived provides some comfort, as well as realizing that death brings an end to suffering of the afflicted, if not to those around them. It doesn't always seem fair. Fair is never promised. But God promises life beyond this world to those who will believe and for that I am truly grateful. I will take everlasting life over fair any day. If this were all there is, how sad to realize that death is just an ending. For me, death will be a new beginning, a new life, an eternal life with no pain and suffering, no more death. Thank you God for that gift of life.

On Visiting Old Friends

Stumbling down a path,
Through old memories.
Yours, mine.
Ours

My story.
You have your own.
Pain sneaks out, joins.
Tears.

We move forward
Safe and strong
We are.
Don't look back.
