My Friend
I am moved at the thought of your courage and strength.
The time you have spent reaching out to others dispite your state.
The pain your body and spirit has been having to endure to the untilmate challenge,
The way you struggle with all anyone can manage.
The alternatives you tried and still do,
The willingness to go on no matter what will
challenge you sometimes moment by moment,
let alone day by day.
What else is one to do? A big question to face.
You say I live in spirit already and always will.
You share your life and all its journeys,
in hopes that not only will it help you but others too.
You write words of wisdom,that are so true
they tend to challenge us who are healthy and wish it for you.
Sometimes it can be scarey for to look at the word dieing and death and ones honesty about life
means to look in the mirror at ourselves.
Then we face the question of what are we to do with the time we have left to live our lives out?
What can we say and/or do?
How can we change things around us too?
Iwish I could take the pain for you all away.
That you would at least not have to hurt this way.
I want to scream out loud at times, not yet God not yet, we still have so much to share with one another and learn about the world and the word life.
I wish I could hold your hand and give you extra strength and courage at the lonely times, I wish I could hold you in my arms and tell you it will all be ok because theres a cure to take all this away.
I know you hurt and are scared at times too.
Utimately it is you who has to live daily and journey parts of this all alone.
To places where none of us can go with you.
I wish you comfort, to be able to feel everyones love that is sent to you before God holds his hand out to you to go to heaven above.
I know you have faith and I believe after living through so much that spirit and God have some place special for people like you. How can I ever tell you how much you have touched my heart.
I will not wait "until" you are gone - perhaps sooner than expected by any of us. I will tell you now so you will know - I will carry you with me where ever I go.
Your gift of friendship and understanding of living through such tragic life circumstances - have made me try to look at my life so very differently now too. To try as you have to say - I have come a long ways on my journey and life has been tragic at times but taught me so much along the way. It has made me the good person I am today.
I know I can just think of you and hear your words and what you might say. So I keep a part of you with me every day.
I honor your spirit and life you have lived by telling what a difference you have made by being my friend.


Love and caring where ever you go, from little me Oceanchild
