Double ping bump!

The Messenger

From an Angel on high a tender message of love was softly whispered into the ear of this humble scribe . . .

Weep not for me
now that I have passed.
Remember the laughter, the affection, the joy;
not just the recent tears.
Cherish the memories, our hopes and dreams.
Hold fast to the love that we shared.
Be happy with the time we spent together
and being anew.
For I am not really gone,
I am closer than ever before.
As the morning sun rises
and throughout the busy day . . .
I am with you.
Until the setting sun disappears on the horizon
and we watch the day turn into night . . .
I am here. as I gently kiss your forehead, "Good night."
The stars that shine so brightly in my heavenly sky
help me watch over you and keep you from harm.
I am the wind in the trees
and the song of a bird.
I am moonbeams in a midnight sky
and a glorious rainbow after the storm.
I am morning dew
and freshly-fallen snow.
I am a butterfly flying overhead
and a puppy happily at play.
I am a smile on a stranger's face
a gentle touch
a warm embrace.
Listen to the wind for my message of love.
Watch the sun rise and set in the sky with me.
Feel my essence encircle you with warm memories.
Open your heart to know . . .
I am not gone.
Reach deep into your soul . . .
You will find me.
I am here.
Have no fear.
I am with you,
Always.

Thank you so much.

Please accept my apologies for any double pings.

not a problem...I saw this thread earlier today and was diverted from making a response.

As a longtime Oklahoman (grade, junior high, and high school in Ponca City,OK),
I send my condolences to JohnD9207 and all the loved ones of the departed.

I simply pray that the current Joyce Gilchrist case in Oklahoma City doesn't impede/abort
the sure and swift application of justice to the animal (disguised as a human being) that
EXECUTED this young family man.

So here's a prayer to the police of Tulsa, the OSBI (Oklahoma State Bureau of
Investigation) for the timely resolution of this matter, even if it just means that the
perp ends up spending the rest of his un-natural life in the mental Hospital in Norman
(I guess the home for the insane in Vinita has been closed).

At least in Oklahoma, most of the authorities will be pushing to help the family to
find closure...unlike the insane states in "the blue zone".

Thanks for the bump and the article. Our prayers are with the family also.

Editor-surveyor, thanks for the ping. Caitlynsmom, JohnD9207, I have no words to describe how sick, outraged, angry, and sad I feel upon reading this. My thoughts are with you at this tragic time.
