Two of our adult children attended with us to comfort us in our loss and show their respect to Tony and his family.<br /><br />You write a poignant, but loving story that gently reminds each of us that we are mortal beings, who through Christ's love will become immortal when we move on to eternity. Still there is this parting when one of a couple, or one among friends, goes first. We send that person off with prayers of love and maybe something that is important to the departed--like a Bible or a teddy bear. Well told, Alan. You are working on a beautiful project. Be blessed.

But as you've described it, with the final breaths, one lifetime ended. Now a new life began, devoid of a person who'd filled so much of our thoughts and time. Societal demands took precedence, but the question of 'What now?' couldn't be answered yet. You've captured this transition well, and tenderly. Your stories will matter to many.
