While we are mourning the loss of Mary Lu, others are rejoicing to meet her behind the veil. I find great comfort in knowing that Mom was greeted by Vince, Dorothy, Eileen and all who preceded her. She is truly home again.
"For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance."
~ Kahlil Gibran
Until we meet again, may God Hold you in the palm of his hand.
