Death of a loved one
Everyone dies. Even though it is inevitable, it isn't at all easy to deal with. My (ex) BIL died yesterday. It was expected, but was hard just the same. I remember him from being a teenager. We even had one date. I recall so much about him as a young man and how intelligent and fun he was. So full of ideas! His life was full of ups and downs, like many of us, but some of his downs were very difficult, such as the death of his first wife. He had cancer and suffered a long time from that. But, before that, he had fallen and had a serious head injury he had to deal with. But, with the cancer, and as many of you know, that is a hard way to die!
It is even more difficult for all the survivors, following so many deaths in the past few years in the immediate family members. Father, sister, cousins, uncles, etc. all gone now,and showing us our own mortallity
I some how knew last night he died and said "Good-bye" to him. It was about 7:15 to 7:30. I was waiting then for the call to tell me he had died. How does one know these things? The mind is an amazing thing. I had never experienced such a thing so powerful. I KNEW he had died. I just KNEW. I have known other things before, but this was so intense. And he and I havent even talked in years. Some connections, I guess are lifelong. Either that, or I am just tuned in more now that I have escaped certain mind blocking things in life.
But here is a salute to you Larry! We have loved you, and now we have lost you to time and death, which befalls us all. It has been a pleasure to know you and I wish we could have kept the connection in family and life, but religion did indeed get in the way of that. Sad.....Bye Larry.......
