I don't want to see him until...

I often hear people say that they'd love to have one more day with a loved one who has gone on before them.

They want one last conversation, one last hug, or in the words of Luther Vandross, "one last dance." 

I don't get it, do you?

I don't want to see my deceased loved ones again until I can see them forever. 

Take my father, for example.  I loved him with a fierceness that not everyone understands.  My daddy could do no wrong in my eyes and I loved him with all of my heart.

The loss of my father came all of a sudden, it wasn't expected, and it hurt deep.  In some ways, I probably still mourn his loss, but I would never say that I wanted to see him one last time.  I don't.

I couldn't take that hurt again. 

I don't want to see him until we can spend time together in eternity.  I live for the moment that I can say "hello!" and I never have to say good-bye again.

    Hello and Welcome to my blog!

    I'm a grown up "church girl" who is bouncing back from some hard blows, including an ugly divorce, financial hardship, and dreams deferred.  Now, more than ever before, I am embracing the idea of transformation and beautiful new beginnings. 

    Won't you take this journey with me?
