reflections of life

I want to thank everyone who have sent prayers and thoughts my way and to let you know that my mother passed on earlier today (thursday, 2/15) at 11:55 a.m. I was at her side along with the rest of my family. I was holding her hand, and as she past I felt as if I was escorting her to the threshold of her return to the spiritual plane. It was one of the most moving and profound experiences of my life. There was such a sense of wholeness and completion to be with this beautiful being, through whom I entered the physical world, as she moved out of it. After everyone left the room i remained with her alone for about two hours. The time with her allowed for a gentler transition for both of us. It will be a time I will cherish always. While I know that it will take time to grieve her loss I can return home with a sense of peace that her spirit is now with God and her body no longer suffering.

Anne and I plan to celebrate Valantine's day next week. She has been so supportive of me this past week. She is truly amazing. ........Thanks Sweetheart

Love to All

Dennis

Dear Dennis,

I am so glad that you were able to be with your mother at her passing, and that you were able to stay with her for awhile afterward. I'm sure it was a great comfort and joy to your mother that you were with her.

Thank you for posting this.
