How clever He disguised you: a bud in waiting.

When blooming synchronized itself with your unfolding you became a radiant sunshine of joy: then you gracefully slipped away.

Today a gentle breeze blew baptismal bliss over my every being and I felt your sweet soul soaring in the winds of time and heard your redemption

    A couple years ago I had the pleasure to help walk a former patient across the gym to receive his high school diploma. He received a standing ovation from a crowed gymnasium and I watched tears stream down his mother’s face as she watched her son accept his diploma and shake hands with the superintendent.

I was called early Saturday morning to sit with a family who had just learned of the death of their daughter/granddaughter in a vehicle accident.…
