BEYOND THE SKIES.
Today we remember you Chioma.
We remember friendship that lasted a while.
We remember promises that travelled a mile.
We remember faces that make us smile.
And then we remember not to keep asking why.
For you inhaled on this side of creation, and exhaled across the sea where no one can see.
While you tarried, you were loved and cherished by us who called you friend and sister, and while we tarry, may we remember that we all are headed towards the same direction.... To be
Today we hold Asa's hands and send her so many hugs, She who loved you to the end and watched you shut those lids without fear.
She is doing well and we love her so much, maybe not like you did, but we are surely standing in the gap.
Sometimes its so hard to forget the journey of life, the sweetness of friendship and the brokenness that follows the loss. Indeed all flesh is as grass and as the flower of the field, we flourish, and all it takes is the passing of the wind to launch us into eternity.
But eternity is our gain, for it holds no fear, we cease to feel the pains that burden the earth. Sorrows and sicknesses have no hold on our souls.
In eternity, we will know no loss and we will have the truest of loves. Yes we die to live again and never to die again.
Though heaven has gained you, we still celebrate the beauty of true friendship, true love and daring faith. We lost your presence but can never lose you.
May your sweet soul continue to rest on.
Death no longer has a hold on you.
Enjoy the glory of the father until we meet at His feet. I hope you will still remember me when I embrace the heavens, I shall make your hair without charge.
I still close my eyes and see your smile. You will never fade from my heart.
Tears will still fall,
Hearts will still ache, but by the time we retire for the night, we shall look up, gaze at the sky and send love smiles your way because we know that you are smiling from beyond the skies.
Adieu Chii.
Happy Day beyond the skies.
