Angela, We are thinking of you and your family today as we have walked this road before. Praying God give each of you the strength you need to accept His will and recall all the precious memories of your dad as you go forward from this day. Sorry I could not be there personally for support but just know that even across the miles you are my dear friend and I share in your sorrow. Peace and blessings to everyone.
My heart is saddened and I extend my deepest condolences. I hold positive memories of the love Charles showed and shared.
Don’t grieve for me, for now I am free and over the fear of death.
I could not stay another day, to laugh, to run the road, to drive across town to the post office or pharmacy, or to simply stop in on a friend. I turned my back and left; I wanted no part of the walker, nursing home, more friends dying and increased risk of car wrecks. No more back pain, outrageous car insurance bills, or fear of dying. All my fear of dying was not based in truth. I found PEACE at the close of the journey.
My life has been full, I savored much joy. Good friends, good times, trips and experiences. We shared the joys of holding Sierra in our arms, taking Sierra and Trevor to McDonalds/IHOP, going on many vacations: Florida, Germany, Hot Springs and Ruidoso. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief. But, don’t lengthen it with undue grief. Lift up your heart for I am free of time and age, of all the physical ailments/pain and hassle of making a living on this physical plane. I have learned all the happiness in the world arises from wishing others to be happy. I wish you all the sunshine of tomorrow.
If my parting has left a void. Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, the good times we had. Learn there is no other side. There is no pushing through grief. But rather, there is absorption, adjustment, and acceptance. Grief is not something you complete, but rather, you endure. Grief is not a task to finish and move one. But an element of yourself- an alteration of your being a new way of seeing a new definition of yourself. Use this experience to find the good in every day/moment. Go out and live life with peace of mind, joy and appreciation. Charles thank you for your love, liane
