My maternal grandfather passed over on Wednesday September 5. He was approaching 97 and set a wonderful example of how to live life to the fullest in the face of unfathomable odds. His wife of 72 years preceded him 36 days. I post this entry as an echo of something he might say:
An angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
and said its time to leave the life you led to embrace a whole new land.
The angel told me my place was ready in Heaven nearby,
and I'd have to temporarily say goodbye.
Know that I love you and I am never far,
Look up at night and find me flying amongst the stars.
