Well, it seems that as life moves forward we lose friends that we thought would be with us for our whole lives, but in time we learn that they were only meant to be with us for a short time. How should we feel over losing these dearest of people? What would be the next step when we find out they’re no longer traveling with us along this great journey? This is a most difficult question to answer because we always hope that these significant people will be with us, but as it turns out they have their own paths to follow.

For me personally, I feel a hole in a part of my spirit that can’t seem to be filled. These special people made such a difference in my life, and to think they will never be there again is almost too much to bear. However, when I think that they are adventuring their own special paths I feel somewhat relieved that my “selfishness” is a bit overbearing, and then I have a feeling of relief because these people have helped me to be where I am, and that is an incredible place for me. “Some people come into our lives for a short time, while others are there for a lifetime.”

For those of you who are in my life for a “lifetime”, thanks is not NEAR enough for all that you’ve given me and shared with me through our lives. For those of you who’ve been with me for a short time, you may not know what you’ve done for another. Thank you!  Hopefully I’ll be able to pass along what you’ve passed to me. :-)

For everyone who has called me “Friend”, thank you from my heart!  I hope we can share friendships once again in this life.

Light, Life & Love!

Namaste!
