The Great Unknown

This last Saturday I received very tragic information from three different sources. Two friends announced that they were going to die and a relative actually did die that morning. My uncle's future wife died in the bath early Saturday after a night of feeling chest and stomach pains. As the family grieved, I went to visit a very spiritual friend/associate of mine and he told me that he was dying from a terminal disease. I was in shock for a while until we talk and I saw how brave he was in the face of death. In grim confidence I went to my Mom's house only to hear that a long time family friend had announced that she wasn't going to live longer than a week. True to her words she passed Tuesday morning just one day after she threw a farewell dinner party.

This may seem very depressing but actually it isn't because I know that the other side has gained some very good and strong souls. They will be dearly missed here on Earth but only God knows what greater good they will be a part of in The Great Unknown.

Enjoy everyday of your life to the fullest!
