Peace

Every time I hear that someone has passed because of cancer my heart breaks.

Doesn't matter how well I knew them.

Doesn't matter how old or young they were.

It still just hits home to me.

I could have been in their shoes.

Emotions are always on the surface.

Tears are inevitable.

My heart aches.

However there is one thing I have begun to grasp.

To understand a little more fully.

The ability to gain peace a little more quickly.

A little bit easier.

A conversation had with a friend comes to my mind.

Remember the Plan of Salvation.

Know that they are free of pain.

Know they are with our Savior.

They are happy.

It is really just us left behind that are suffering.

Keep your chin up.

In time we will all be reunited.

And what a grand and beautiful day that will be.

Oh how true those words are.
With these thoughts, I have hope.

How they speak peace to my heart.
Where there is hope, there is peace.

Farewell to a friend, may you fly high and your family be blessed with Peace with you gone.
