OT-Looking Down Over Us

[Guest guest]

I was sitting down reading posts today...

I have been emotional the last couple of days; my brother called me up this

morning and is having a hard time with Mom being gone (even after two years). I

read the posts today, and among them are so many of us who have walked with our

loved ones to the door of 'freedom form this disease', and then there are also

those that are still on this journey with their loved ones.

My brother says he just wants to see Mom again...and he is talking about wanting

to leave this earth to see her...he is truly struggling with accepting her

death. But, I think that for those of us that have truly walked that road with

out loved ones through this valley of LBD, and also those that haven't reached

the door at the end yet, we are much more prepared and also have that sense of

'not the end' but just the start of a new beginning...a beginning free of all

pain and suffering.

I then thought...you know we are all writing condolences for the loss of Don, as

we have for those before him, and we will for those yet to get their

freedeom...But I just feel the need to do this post.

Today...and each day that one of ours are lifted up by the angels and the

illnesses, pains, trials and tribulations of life are wiped away, there is

sadness here on earth...mostly sadness that WE no longer have the physical

presence around us....but I thimk,

There is a big party going on in heaven...a welcoming party, a party of

congratulations that they have earned their reward and are now free. Don is

there, my mom is there, Ron's Mom is there, Sharon's

Dad is there, 's dad is there, Leona's husband is there, 's mother

is there, and on and on and on. (Sorry, I couldn't possibly go on and on

without missing someone, but that doesn't mean that I don't include your loved

ones).

But also at that party, there is confetti being thrown and bubbles being

blown...and angel feathers scattered in the air...all bringing loving warm

breezes, gentle wisps of air around us, and that, my dear friends, are our loved

ones saying, I am good, I am healed, I love you, and thank you for all of your

loving care.
