We will meet again

The other day I was shopping for a card for my niece since her mom (my sister in law) passed away.  I came across this card and it was so beautiful:
A Better Place
There's a place
I have never seen
beyond this world we know,
A place I've only heard of
but someday hope to go
It's not on any map
there are no roads
to take me there,
But it's a place of perfect peace
where hearts are free from care.
And though I understand
some may be saddened
when I leave
One day, we will all meet again
that's what I believe......
When it is time to travel there
I think I'll wear a smile,
I'll say good-bye to those I love,
but only for a while,
Knowing there are others
who have traveled there alone
Who cannot wait to greet me
and whisper "welcome home"
 
I thought it was so beautiful and it is so true because we all look forward to meet our loved ones who have gone before.

Linda - just the tone of your entry is uplifting. You have come a long way in almost 18 months. I can still remember feeling the devastating pain in your journal entries. I don\'t know if you are smiling more but i sure hope so. You know carlos would be glad if you were!

I think things happen for reasons, and someone wanted you to read that card. It was beautiful and I hope and pray everyday that my DH is a peace with no pain - I know he is in a better place. I am so glad that you are finding some sort of inner peace - wishing you Happy Holidays, you DS friend Rhonda
