Life

I have just arrived back from visiting with Bill and his family. Bill is dying. He does not have long to live anymore. It is never easy to do such visits.

In an hour I will stand in front of two people who will pledge their loyalty and love to each other. "...in sickness and in health...".

Life is strange. One tries to make the best of each opportunity, live life to the fullest, yet we live with the illusion that we somehow own that which has been given to us.

I pray that Bill will experience peace. I pray that the couple will treasure each moment that they have with each other. I pray that I will get through today.
