    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Our death is our wedding with eternity.
    What is the secret? "God is One."
    The sunlight splits when entering the windows of the house.
    This multiplicity exists in the cluster of grapes;
    It is not in the juice made from the grapes.
    For he who is living in the Light of God,
    The death of the carnal soul is a blessing.
    Regarding him, say neither bad nor good,
    For he is gone beyond the good and the bad.
    Fix your eyes on God and do not talk about what is invisible,
    So that he may place another look in your eyes.
    It is in the vision of the physical eyes
    That no invisible or secret thing exists.
    But when the eye is turned toward the Light of God
    What thing could remain hidden under such a Light?
    Although all lights emanate from the Divine Light
    Don't call all these lights "the Light of God";
    It is the eternal light which is the Light of God,
    The ephemeral light is an attribute of the body and the flesh.
    ...Oh God who gives the grace of vision!
    The bird of vision is flying towards You with the wings of desire.

    Lucy, so sorry to hear of your loss.

    Miss me - But Let Me Go

    When I come to the end of the road
    And the sun has set for me.
    I want no rites in a gloom filled room,
    Why cry for a soul set free?

    Miss me a little - but not for long
    And not with your head bowed low.
    Remember the love that we once shared.

    Miss me - but let me go.

    For this is a journey that we all must take
    And each must go alone.
    It's all part of the Master's plan.
    A step on the road to home.

    When you are lonely and sick at heart,
    go to the friends we all know
    and bury your sorrow in doing good deeds.

    Miss me - but let me go.

    I am sorry to hear this, Lucy - my thoughts are with you.
  • Lucy -

    Your love for your father is a testimony to the fact that he was a person of strength, of character, and of kindness who loved unconditionally and who always gave you his very best. I know that you will miss him as much as I miss my mother and father, but be comforted in the knowledge that he IS in a MUCH BETTER place now.

    Our condolences, sympathies, and best wishes are with you and your family in this, your time of grief.

    Lucy, I had a Spanish speaking friend translate your Spanish comments, beautiful sentiments for your lost father.. My condolences, having lost my parents I found comfort in the knowledge I wouldn't have to go through it again. The spooky thing for me is that I am 4 years older then your dad.

  • i have lost my Father too. Let me tell you that you will never stop talking to him and you will know that he listens and sometime I swear he will answer you. Therre will be times that he gives advice, you will be able to tell because all of a sudden he will ppop into your mind and only you will know just what that means. The love goes on and the hurt does too but you learn to live with it and the realationship just changes a little bit, you'll see.

  • Lucy,

    Sincere condolences on your loss ... I too lost my father over 5 years ago, and can safely say, that there has not been a day where I have NOT thought about him in one way or another.

    In my opinion, the best thing one can do for our dearly departed loved ones, is to constantly keep them in our memories AND celebrate their lives and love, as much as possible.

    Take care for now ...

    It sounds like he left this world surrounded by the people he loved and those that loved him. There is not much more that any of us can ask, a full life and family to share it with.

    Hold his memory dear and he will never be forgotten.

    My best wishes to you and yours,
