BEING IN LOVE!

love is in the air!

Being in love with someone is a very unique experience. It cannot be described by anyone that would come close to the actual experience. You have to have been there to know it. For those of you who have not, the best that can be said is that you will know it when it happens.

When you are in love, it takes control of you. It is an obsession that cannot be conquered unless being with the person, or if it is muted over time. Even after many years, those who have felt it remember it as if it where yesterday. It is a part of you that you never will lose as long as you live.

A PASSAGE TO ETERNAL LIFE

Death is always painful when it comes because it means that a person is cut off from the world of the living. It means that between the dead and the living there comes a distance much farther than the farthest point on this earth. When a person lives, once can always hope he will come back home sooner or later, but when a person is dead, one can only hope to join him someday.

There is nothing final in death, which no one ever likes. When death comes, it's all over for the person this side of life. No matter how miserable one's life my have been, death appears always terrifying. Life is just too beautiful to end in death. But faith teaches us that death is the necessary passage to eternal life. Jesus said, "Unless the grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat. But if it dies, it produces much fruit." (John 12:24)

In loving memory of our ever
sweet and delicate mother of all!
