Each passing breath

Your presence fills the space, and I feel you near, beside me.

You shared so many smiles and it’s not hard to recall one when I need it to comfort me.

Your life was a blessing bestowed upon us, and we feel so fortunate to have had you in ours for a moment.

We are passers by in this life, making our way to the next.

Your illness seemed an ordeal, or even a punishment at times.

But now we know the gift that gave us courage, purpose and peace.

A reminder from the Skies that we are mere mortals, you and I.

We pause here for a moment, and Abundance is ours to share.

That we go back to the place from which we came is Truth -

So live your journey well.

As each breath is one breath closer to the Ultimate Goodbye.

This breath is precious -  a pearly bead in a rosary, joined together by a string.

Once it passes through you, it finds a place in Eternity.
