My Guardian Angel


Today my post is dedicated to my beloved Aunt Pat who passed away early this morning after a 2 year battle with cancer. At the moment I feel it necessary to say a few words pertaining to her rather than our Grenada adventure. Unfortunatly I don't have a picture of her with me, so those of you that know her will understand why I chose a butterfly. Patty's contagious laughter, unconditional love, and inspirational example will be deeply missed. Though I am extremely saddened abouth having to miss her funeral and haven't been there to be with my family, I know that this is where she would want me to be. This moring when we received the call I shed a few tears and then was overwhelmed with feelings of relief and comfort. Relief for Patty's sake and comfort that I know came directly from her. I then went about the day as best I could trying to get our home set up. This evening after coming home from dinner I began to sob. I cried so hard I felt like the air was being sucked out of my lungs. It is difficult to lose a loved one, especially when you feel it shouldn't be there time to go. Patty however, one of the lord's most faithful servants, knew that it was right. I believe that she has been called to heaven for a much higher purpose and that she will continue to do many wonderful things, one of which is to be my Guardian Angel as I navigate my way around this new land.

I made a comment yesterday but it didn't show up.
I am so sorry about your Aunt. I firmly in Guardian Angels. You need to read the book "The Message" by Lance Richardson. It's awesome. In it he has a near death experience and see's his relatives whispering promptings to people on earth. You need to read it.
Hang in there!
Love,
Wendy
