Saying Goodbye

At this very moment, my friend is dying. His cancer has taken him captive.

My momma never told me that losing a friend would be so hard.

I guess in my own childish way, I thought that all of the people that I love would live forever. My adult brain knows that this is not possible, and my heart breaks.

I got down on my knees this morning and asked God to send him an angel...his mother. I know that for a long time he has not smiled with his whole heart, he will when she comes to take him home. I pray that he is at peace, that he is right with God, that he no longer suffers, that his mother comes to take him home, and that his family finds strength through our Savior Jesus Christ to make it through this time.

I will keep him tucked away in in heart for all of the time that I am left here on earth. He was a part of my beginning and middle...I will take him with me to the end.
