I read a wonderful tribute on a fellow blogger’s blog today. It was a respectful tribute regarding one ovarian cancer survivor’s feelings of the passing of another afflicted with cancer. They were in the battle against the enemy cancer. They had a rich relationship of love and support.
The respect and caring just comes through her words that define just what he meant to her. He was friend, adopted grandfather as well as favored “uncle”. No i don’t think they were related to each other biologically, but that doesn’t matter.
They connected in a way that goes beyond surface; so, i know that with his passing she will grieve the loss, even knowing that he is no longer suffering pain or discomfort in the battle anymore. Cancer might have taken his body; but, it didn’t claim his soul or his essense. God will not allow the enemy that much power in the battle over his own children called by his name.
So, I wish for her healing; and, joy in the remembering of their time together. May the highs from the joy of knowing each other far outweigh the loss in his passing from this world. It isn’t the end…it is the beginning of forever…they will know each other again in eternity; and they will be blessed from the knowing of one another.
She is playing a song from Vince Gill on her blog in rememberance, it is a song called High on the Mountain. It speaks of a strong faith and the victory that comes to those at the end of the journey. It is a song of encouragement and an acknowledgement of the struggles of life.
Both of my parents have battled cancer…they have friends who have battled the disease right alongside of them. These relationships are hard to define and the bond is stronger than diamonds. They sparkle just as brightly too. So, I pray that the comforter send her the strength she needs at this time of loss. God bless you Lady Ashley and those that you touch in your journey!
