Thanks for all your wonderful thoughts and prayers. I will be sharing this with Eileen. I know she will derive much comfort out of it. It's a little early for me to be comforted, since my plans were so intricately involved with Matts and my mutual success. Now there will be a mad scramble to find a way to survive, and to eventually see if I cannot reconstitute this business Matt and I started. As you can see, I am not sleeping well tonight.
It will remain named Harp Seal Systems, in memorium of my dear friend.
I also have chosen a new tagline. I think it may be permanent.
The pain will remain with those who loved and cared for Matt because of the missed association...but it can and will ease with time. As you contemplate where Matt is...who he is with...the joy he is feeling...the pain he is not suffering from...well, it helps. It also helps to know that we ourselves can be with those we care for eventually in that same place, and it gives us call to so order and live our lives to ensure that. Thus, even in passing, an example and a good turn is done us. I know that all of this has been the case with the passing of my own Dad eight weeks ago.
The good Lord has called Matt on a different mission of sorts...and Matt has dawned his eternal gear, mounted up and is giving it his all. Of that we can rest assured.
Keep the faith my friend...and keep the light of truth held up high.
Prayers going out for you, Lazamataz - for Matt's friends and loved ones.
I think that's a fine tribute. I'm sure that I'll not be the only FReeper to see those words and smile at the memories, bittersweet though they seem at the moment.
I encourage you to open the channel for God to begin to move in your life, in a mighty and powerful way, by doing a whole lot more asking. ASK and ASK and ASK. Keep on asking so that you may receive and your life may be full. Joyce Meyer
