- Teri came up the stairs last night to show me an e-mail from a dear friend, whose wife, also a dear friend, is losing her long battle against brain cancer. I've probably known her from our prayer group for a quarter-century, and have gotten to know the two of them in a new way from marriage encounter over the last decade.
- I awoke this morning from a strange dream featuring my grandfather and my sister. I haven't dreamed of either of them in so very long.
- Then saw that a dear parishioner's mom, also a parishioner, passed away from a mysterious illness. She'd been battling for so long, and I need to remember that she is now free!
I'm deciding to interpret the second of these as a reminder that these dear friends are entering more fully into God's presence amid the full communion of saints.
