Barb 8th June 2011

Four years later, I still don’t really understand anything. Life has gone on and we move ahead – I wonder if it’s the same where you are? Because I know that you still live. I have accepted and no longer dwell on why, but there are still times when I keenly miss you, am vividly aware of our separation. I still spend an inordinate amount of time wondering about the dimensions you now inhabit. So even though our lives go on here I think you know about the prayers I send up and the continual mourning by those you left behind, who are learning how to live with the hurt of being without you. And as it has been all along, we wait for the time we will see you again. Love always – I still miss you, Doug, Barb Almighty God, we remember before You today Your faithful servant Douglas; and we pray that, having opened to him the gates of larger life, You will receive him more and more into Your joyful service, that, with all who have faithfully served You in the past, he may share in the eternal victory of Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
