wolfstar, I too pondered on her death alone...we dont know any details and we may not ever but the shocking reality for all of us is that we don’t always have a lot OR ANY time to say good-bye to those people who have touched us or helped us in ANY way. Each day, each interaction should always be lived as if it is the last. We truly never know if it will be. The bible speaks of death as a “thief in the night” and that is so true.
It is heartbreaking to loose or family & friends from long term, painful disease but the crueler loss (to those left) is the sudden goodbye.Voids where there should be answers & pain and remorse for all the “I should haves”
Tomorrow it may be no one stepping into eternity, it might be another loved acquaintance... or it might be you or me. We need to live each day with honor & with love & respect for our fellow sojourners in life.
The post is to you but not really, it is to everyone. We have all pondered the life & death issues. Each time it hits home again, we ponder more deeply. We examine life’s journey more appreciatively & we understand our own mortality quite completely
Amen, Dolly!
Amen to the Thoughts in your Post, Sweet Friend.
