I hope Papa has found Alex
« on: January 31, 2007, 09:31:06 pm »
Some of you may remember that my father in law had some major surgery in June - well his recovery hasn't been good he has been in 3 hospitals and 2 nursing homes, well today he lost that battle and passed away at 8:00 tonight.

I am choosing to believe that he is on the way to find Alex which was my husbands dog but when hubby moved out Alex wasn't allowed because my father-in-law had become so attached.

So Papa I hope you and Alex are hanging out together visiting friends that you haven't seen in a while.  Sorry this is such a downer but I needed to put some words on paper and I new my BPO friends wouldn't mind

«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»

As the dry and dusty trail stretched before me,
I thought of what had
been, exsisting now in memory.
The plains of summer grasses, the stream of pure mountain waters,

the colors of the rainbow scattered in a mosaic of
unbelievable complexity.

In the distance a thunderhead is building,
the rumbling of it's internal
construction can almost be heard, more likely imagined.
Once again I turn my
attention to the path,
it seems to lead to the sun, resting now on the
far > horizon.
The clouds and sky, reflect the heart of the sun and all
that it is,
with the purple, pink, shades of blue, orange and crimson. These
colors
blending with the earthened tones of land as it reaches to the light
of
creation.

I relax and know that my path is before me, the purpose is remembering
There is a breeze that comes from behind me,
as if to push me forward and I sense the presence of one I cannot see.

Seeing without sight the winds embrace me, and whisper softly.
"You are never alone,
for I am always
with you".

My steps though tentative, begin again. The earth guides me, the wind
embraces me, the waters nourish me, and the fires warm me. These
things I will remember and know I will never be, as I have never been,
"alone"
the
Journey begins anew

Thank you everyone for your kind words and support.  My in-laws live about an hour and a half away so I got up there yesterday and finally saw my husband he looks horrible but appears to be doing OK.  I came home again last night so the kids didn't miss 2 days of school since the service is Sunday and there isn't anything I can do there except eat -my goodness I have never seen so much food!

I appreciate your posts and friendship.

Randy
