Cherish Time

Cherish Time

The first of this month a dear friend lost her life very unexpectedly.  She was a vibrant, healthy, happy woman.  One day she didn't feel well, a few days later she was gone.  She reminded me how precious every single moment is and to cherish each moment as if it were the last.  The sayings "live life to it's fullest" or "live like it is your last day" are so true!

Besides the passing of my friend; this month has been particularly difficult as it marks 8 years since the passing of my father, whom I miss tremendously. While sleeping on the floor of his hospital room waiting for him to go to the light (die) I had a vision or dream.  In that vision I saw my dad on the path to heaven holding hands with two of my brothers while my third brother skipped along the path.  My dad was walking without pain; smiling and laughter could be heard.  The path was marked with the most beautiful flowers and trees.  My dad turned back, looked at me and smiled his crooked smile before he turned and began walking down the path to heaven.  At that moment in time I knew his soul had left his body and that he was reunited completed with my brothers who greeted him and took him to the light. I woke and was with him when he took his last few breaths a few moments later. The vision I was provided will always be treasured.  

This project although dedicated to Debra Drabert, also honors the vision I was given during the passing of my father. My wish for her on her journey is that her angels, family and friends greeted her and walked with her to heaven.






While working on this project, my uncle Frank lost his life on earth too.  Peace be with you Uncle Frank!
