I got a call this morning from my dear friend, Jamie, telling me that her mother had passed away last evening. Her voice was shaky, she is so sad, and is trying to be brave. In all the things that I believe, the one thing I am most grateful for is the knowledge and belief that we will see our loved ones again someday. Death is not an easy thing for anyone...especially me. I don't fear being there, it's how I'm going to get there that frightens me. But the conviction that I have of life after death is strong, and it gives me a sense of calmness, knowing that when it is my turn I will be met and welcomed by those who have gone before me. I didn't know Jamie's mom very well. I know a lot about her by talking to Jamie and hearing the stories the kids have to tell. She will be missed tremendously by everyone who knew her. Please pray for my friend, that she will have the strength to go on and be able to feel peace during this time in her life.
