My good friend and neighbor is dying. She has more health problemsthrough the years than anyone should have to tolerate. Now as she approachesher 57th birthday she knows that it will be her last. She hasstarted a lot of her things. She has given all of us around her much more than just her things though.She has also given us her friendship, her kindness, and her joyful smile. She has given us hershining spirit that has made all of our lives so much . When a local dog was killed bya bear, my friend welcomed it into her home and nursed it back to .When any of us needed anything she was there doing all that she could witha full of love and a soul full of goodness.
She did all of this too while her health to grow worse and worse. My friend, , is not afraid of death. She has told me several timesthat she believes it will only be like a brief and then she willawaken in Paradise. I am as well that she will fit right in therebecause she already has a lot of paradise within herself. It is theparadise within her that she has so freely and beautifully given to us all.
We all have a bit of paradise within ourselves. She has shown me that the best way to enjoy that paradise is to it with everyone youmeet. I wish my friend only joy in her days here and endlesslove and life in her coming days in Paradise.
