“As you have been with me in life, so I will be with you in death.”
I “heard” this statement in my heart, and whispered it to Marty’s body at his graveside service Saturday morning, with Jo and Jim accompanying me to his graveside.
Dad’s caregiver called me to report Dad’s death at the exact moment I was to place Marty’s body into the hearse, Saturday morning. Sharon had to rush from the funeral procession to tend to Dad’s body, while I completed my pallbearer duties.
Oh, Dad, you always knew how to try to take command of a situation, didn’t you!?
Two men who have so dramatically shaped my life recently are now gone.
To truly become “one” with love for another is dangerous, and destructive to the ego mind. To not fully love one another is dangerous, and destructive to the heart, to the body, and to each other.
I have been destroyed, and I am also being renewed.
Where do we all go from here?
As we leave our history, we may enter into the mystery.
The Unknown is always calling out to us from within,
Listen carefully, and be transformed.
