A child had died in London during a WW2 bomb attack ... a narrator we never see, the phantom soul gatherer said ... Rudy's soul gently rolled into my arms. I would like to think its' that way.

Most of them well-known people in our congregation (including a former minister). Not a good time. People are starting to feel general out of sorts. So I've been asked to help out a bit. <br /><br />I don't mind helping, but it does remind me of my own mortality. <br /><br />Dying is not so much about "if"; it's more "where" and "when." And as the eye-chart on the wall stays less and less in focus, I guess we wonder how "in focus" we are. <br /><br />I'd love to take you away roasria, to a field full of fresh snow, where the cross-country skiing in the sunshine is easy and relaxing on a warm day. You slide along casually, gently noting what happens around you — mostly rids and animals. Then you could come in for a good meal, and a leisurely sit before the crackling fireplace. <br /><br />Sigh! If only I could do that with you.<br /><br />Blessings and Bear hugs!
