My friend Ben passed away from renal cell cancer last evening

[classof56]

45. Quite awhile ago, a DUer posted this, which really resonated with me:

ASCENSION

And if I go while you’re still here,
Know that I live on, vibrating to a different measure
Behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me, so you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we can soar together again,
Both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to the fullest—
And, when you need me, just whisper my name in your heart.
I will be there.

--Colleen Hitchcock

I have shared this often, beneath a photo of the Maroon Bells in the Colorado Rockies. Brings me a sense of peace, and others have remarked it does them, too, when they've lost someone they loved. Hope it does the same for you.

Blessings
