The Long and Winding Road

Our Journey took many twists and turns. Together our hearts soared over many mountain tops and crawled through the deepest dark valleys. We took a vow 19 years ago; For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. We were called to test every one of them. Though it seemed that in the end this disease called cancer would try to devour our hearts and love for one another, I will remember the intimacy that we shared on the mountain tops of our long life together and the strength and endurance we acquired in the valleys; and that no matter what, we prevailed; we endured to pass the test. You have reached the higher calling, Eric, and now sit at the right hand of the Father in Jesus. You know and I know. God Knows...and that is all that matters. Your spirit lives on in the legacy that you left with the love we created through our children. I will miss our morning coffee, the touch of your hand on mine and our walks in the quiet morning mist.
