Guest guest Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Sunny, I recently read a wise man's saying that "when you give, you have more." I, being a wise old man, if you think 80 years is old and I do not, I have found that to be true. I have also learned that when you take the other person has less. So this day I am taking all your pain, frustrations and anxieties and you now have less. For your part, all you need to do is believe.

I know I felt that way at first. I am learning, thanks to people like Lou, Sher, Beth, Jack, Walt and Beverley that life will continue on until the Lord calls me home. I look forward to that day but am learning to cherish each moment until then. On days like today, when the pain in my chest is so bad I can't stop crying I remember that tomorrow will be better and someone in my "air family" will send something that will make me laugh. At least now I know that the pain in my chest isn't my heart but my esophagus going into spasms. Still it hurts and it scares me but I am no longer so alone when Rich is gone. I am maudlin today but I wanted you all to know that you have made a huge difference in my life.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Jack, You are the sweetest man (except for Rich of course). I do believe and feel lighter. Today my day will be a great one but I am sorry my dear friend this is my burden that God has allowed me the honor of carrying. It's called Refiner's Fire. I will be stronger on the other side of the pain and when I get to Heaven I will hear "well done, good and faithful servant. Thank you for the offer. You really are one in a million. Already the day is wonderful because an elderly man who owns a nursery gave me some nasturdoms. That is probably not how it is spelled but that is what he called them. They are like stars fallen from heaven.
