Hello my lovely family. I read some really sad
news just now about the loss of a good friend and example this morning. I just
want to put in my two bits about a man named Val Durrant.
I'm not aware of the whole story, how this came
to pass, or what everyone is going through/thinking right now, but that does't
change how I feel. I feel great sadness knowing that someone so kind and loving
is not here with us anymore. Every time I saw Val, whether at a track meet, a
reunion, or at great gma d's house, he was sure, always SURE, to give me a hug
and ask me how I was doing. He's like, my great uncle. he had no obligation to
do that and honestly I wouldn't have been offended if he didn't. but he did,
and I felt a great respect for him for that. I still do.
I have learned so much here in the past 6 weeks
and i just want everyone reading this to KNOW THAT I KNOW. this life is not
all. this life is short, and maybe not all sweet, but it means something.
People move in and out of the veil as part of a process that is bigger than us,
which is out of our control. only God controls that process. All we can do is
live and be a part of it, and find beauty in it, seeing the light of Christ in
other peoples faces. We are here because he lives and we too can live with his
perfect happiness and glory. I am grateful for this knowledge. val has the
light of christ and it hasn't left him. He is still there and moving on to an
important purpose. He loves all of you still and so does our lord and savior
Jesus Christ. he has surmounted all so trust in him.
"These things I have spoken unto you, that
in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of
good cheer; I have overcome the world."
John 16:33
so be not overcome with grief.
I love and miss all of you. talk to you later.
thanks for all the support and letters and happiness chaque jour. :)
