I'm wondering where summer has gone but I have a feeling it's almost over and I've barely had a chance to notice it. We are enjoying tomatoes from our garden, so I know it's summer! I'm still just a tad in recovery mode from our travels. Thrown in the mix was a quick four-day road trip up to Chicago and back this long weekend. We went to a memorial service for a couple who are dear to me and I've known since my birth! The night the husband died, his beloved whispered to him something like, "Don't walk too quickly, dear, I'll catch up with you soon ... " and three weeks later, she joined him in heaven. What a beautiful thing death can be. For them, 70 years of married life and so quickly together again in heaven.
Photo: I took many photos of windows and winding lanes on our trip ... this one is a favorite.
What a touching story... I'm glad that she did not have to wait long to join him.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope that you get the chance to catch you breath and rest for a few days before striking off on another trip.
I'm enjoying the photos of your trip...anyway, I think that they are because they don't look like the U.S.
That is a profound statement..."What a beautiful thing death can be." We tend to think of death in different terms, and yet it isa beautiful thing when one of His passes from death into life eternal.
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful.

I am glad she has caught up with him... they should never be apart. =)
