Grateful

[JessicainArkans]

I was bedside last Friday night when my dear friend Willie passed on, I, with his wife of 62 years, his son and his grandson held him as he looked into the eyes of God and walked toward a better place, one where I could literally see heavens light profuse his eyes, his body and soul.
I was so honored to be part of of his circle of life.
Life is so precious, we hear this all the time, welcoming my first and only daughter was so amazing, a tiny soul wanting to experience the love of life, grasping her tiny fingers for the first time will be a memory I will always cherish.
Like the beginning of life, in the end, when our time draws nearer to be called to another light, it too is also precious. Saying good bye for the last time to an old friend was just as amazing as my first hello, as a soul wanting to experience the love of the most pure of light he walked on where we cannot know. Just seeing the passing of life makes my faith a great bit stronger.
May God bless all who where blessed to have loved him, I am so grateful for the divine plan that brought him into my life.
To find a friend is the greatest gift that can be given, to be a friend is the greatest gift that can be obtained.
I will meet you dear friend in the grandest of flower gardens.

Thankful for life,
Jessica Day:angel:

That was so beautiful, Jessica. I'm sorry that your friend passed away. Was it unexpected? When I was a senior in high school I lost a very dear friend to cancer. I was one of two friends who stood by his side & watched him wither away. None of our other friends ever went to visit him because it was depressing to them. Like I thought it was a wonderful thing or something. I knew that my friend needed me & I was there for him. I gained so much faith in God in those few months. Watching him prepare to die & looking death right in the eyes with no fear & such faith was such a bittersweet awakening. It was the greatest funeral that I've ever been to since my friend planned it all out the way he wanted it before he passed. He had them play 'Dust in the Wind' by Kansas & to this day, I can't hear that song without crying. It's been 13 years now & I still miss him. He had his mom give me a tye-dye t-shirt that I had bought him & I still have it. Someday we will meet all who have gone before us & it's going to be the greatest joy.

My dear friend Willie had walked a long road, he died just one month shy of his 89th birthday. God called him home. His death was not unexpected but we did not want to give him up so soon.
Thank you Karma for your kind words, you have been so sweet to me lately, I am so delighted to say and know I have found a new friend in you.
I wish White Chocolate cake could keep and I could send some via mail, oh well, pretend it is done!
Finding new friends on this network is like "finding jems in a rusty bucket". I made that one up for Tilly but just had to share it with ya'll, it pertains to everyone here too!

Much love,
Jessica:angel:
