Today I felt your hands gently cup my face. Your lips
lightly brushed the edges of mine and for one brief moment I looked into your
face, saw the twinkle in your eyes and that “life is good” smile upon your
face. I not so much heard, but ever so faintly felt the tenor and resonance of
your voice.
My frenzied stress filled mind cleared and I smiled back.
For a moment life felt so simple and yes, good. All too abruptly I remembered
that you aren’t living among us anymore. The bubble burst. Sadness crept back
in.
In the weighty midst of reality I thought, “What good was
this remarkable journey that you made, if stress, tension, and sadness overflowed.”
I’ve chosen to embrace the gift of your visit. Peace and simplicity dominate
this night.
