Life is a miracle and death is a mystery. What keeps us alive after that first stirring of life brings a new and unique person into this world? This afternoon I received the phone call I had been expecting for some time. He may not make the night.
His breathing was very laboured when I was there this afternoon. I played old gospel hymns for him and he seemed to be content. When I was leaving, he seemed reluctant to see me go but life goes on. I don't want to be impatient for him to go but I know it's time.
What takes us from this life into something different? What's on the other side, or is there an "other side"? Sometimes we hear from the ones on the other side that it's time to join them and sometimes we hear nothing.
Go in peace, my beloved, and may the other side have everything for you that you ever hoped for and dreamed of. It's time for us to say our good-byes. We married till death do us part and we have kept our promises although it wasn't always easy. You've been a good life's partner in spite of the difficulties your family put in your way. I did learn to love you and I think you loved me too. Good night, my someone, good night forever.
