Heather You Are Finally Free From All The Pain

Heather suffered for so long. As I watched her meet these difficulties ....I so ached inside watching her in such agony for so long.  I believe this was the most difficult trial I have ever witnessed.  Heather has endured many tough trials .   In her home over the archway heading into the living room is a sign which reads..."I Can Do Hard Things". If any one could do it Heather could!  She truly was  One Strong Lady!!  I so admire her determination to meet every trial face on.   I told her I would much rather learn from others trials and avoid any extra pain myself.  Heather faced everything head on.  She has taught me much. I am already missing the fact that I can't pick up the phone and have our morning chat.   I am still in awe of Peter and how he stayed beside her day and night.  He is a knight in shining armour.  He has achieved Angel Status.  It was so sweet to witness him do everything earthly possible to make her comfortable.  Truly a great love story for me to be privy to.  Her beautiful childhood friend Wendy was such a brick of comfort to her.  It was so sweet to feel of the love that they shared as long time friends.

I wish I could peek into  the spirit world and see the beautiful reunion going on right now.  Especially at the moment when she got to see David again.   It is so true that we all want to get to heaven again.... hug our loved ones.... but we don't want to die to do it.    It took a great leap of faith to finally say, "I'm out of here."  She knew what she had to do and she did it. 

I must tell you that Heather was down emotionally on Monday and said", You might think I'm crazy but will you all sing to me"?   So Pete said I only know the words to the Christmas Carols.  So I said, "Go for it Pete."  So Pete sang (O Christmas Tree )and several other carols in German.  Wendy sang in English....(in harmony no less) and I clapped in rythym.  It was beautiful and it brought a smile to Heather's lips.  We tried our very best to help where we could to make her comfortable.  Each of us wanted to make this trial go away ....but since  that wasn't possible ....we did the best we could to try to relax and comfort  her.
Heather I look forward to our next reunion when we can embrace once more  and share our many experiences together.
I love you!

What a great vacation!

We loved Arizona....it was warm and beautiful.  Lots of green grass which really surprised me.  We had a lovely Christmas together.  It was hard to come home to snow.  Now I'm sitting in front of the heater to keep warm.  We were gone 3 weeks and saw all the children and grandchildren.  Leah's baptism was a highlight.
Just had a wonderful time.
