Smiling radiant like a bright star at night,
I always dreamed it would be this way.
For I now find sweet melodies alive in my heart,
As I find my spirit renewed this special day.
And around me I hear many spirits voices,
As they gather around me to heartily sing.
Because I stand among them no longer afflicted,
By all those past memories of worldly pains.
This was written from my spiritual brother, Wendell, in honor of my Mom and it is a beautiful reminder of the better place she is in, even though we miss her tremendously~Thank you, Wendell! xx

I felt the same way when I first read this, Soma, and I know Mom is shining up above, sparkly, as ever! Wendell is an angel and my family was just so touched by his gift…xoxo

Lauren, that was a beautiful tribute from Wendell; it brought tears to my eyes. (I am following his blog now and have commented – but I know it went directly to his spam … do you think you could ask him to retrieve me, please? Thank you so much, my friend.) Sending you love and hugs, Julie xoxox

Something wrong with my eyes; I didn’t notice that it was reblog = ) I thought it was just that short. Forgive me = )
Very lovely, indeed.
Thanks, Caddo, have you visited Wendell? If not, I know you would love his undying faith and beautiful writing~
Yes, I have–he does have a beautiful faith, as well as poetic gift!
I can tell that I’m far from alone in finding so much comfort at sensing lost loved ones still around, among and in us. Thank goodness our love is not limited by the three dimensions we spend the greater part of our time occupying.

No, you’re definitely not alone and you are completely right about the goodness of our love not being limited…Hugs!
