Jim, I can not explain what this has done to my heart..It is my

thoughts. I know where I am going and exactly who's going to be there

looking for me. Oh my. What a day that will be. Thank You for this.

Love and Prayers, Peggy

Sorry looks back,

I want to share this with you. I came across it years ago when my

best friend's wife of 40 years passed away. He asked me to read it at

her funeral.....I've read it many times since. I used to try to

analyze it, to figure out what it means....I gave that up.....I

simply like it.

We are standing on a shore..........somewhere

A ship before us spreads her white sails and starts for the blue ocean.

She is a beautiful and a strong ship. We watch until she hangs like a

speck of white cloud just where the sea and the sky come together to

mingle with each other.

Then, someone at our side says " there, well she's gone. "

But, gone where ? From our sight, that's all.

She is just as large in mast and spar as when she left our shore,

just as strong and able.

Her diminished size is in us, not in her, and while someone at our

side is saying " she's gone " , there are other eyes watching, ready to

take up the glad shout, " Look, there she comes " .

Peace,

jim

My husband of 48 years passed away on Tuesday 9/11. He was sick with

various things including diabetes, vascular disease etc. He was in a

nursing home for a year since I could not take care of him alone or

even with help. It was a blessing for him and us but still very

hard because he suffered so much. Don't feel it necessary to

respond. I just wanted to let you know. I have been sick since

before he died and am still sick. I had a chest xray today. They

will probably put me on some awful medicine that makes me sicker.

Thanks for listening. I appreciate this group even though I do not

write often.
