Happy Birthday Kevin. Miss you so much.  Love you for all time. One Breath Apart.

Kevin,
We miss you and will never forget you. I know you are at peace and free from pain and whole once again on God's kingdom. We all love you. Take care of our Bryan.

Gone From M y Sight
by Henry Van Dyke

I am standing upon the seashore.

A ship, at my side,spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts for the blue ocean.

She is an object of beauty and strength.

I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says, 'There, she is gone'

Gone where?

Gone from my sight.

That is all.

She is just as large in mast, hull and spar as she was when she left my side. And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me - not in her.

And, just at the moment when someone says, 'There, she is gone,'
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, 'Here she comes!'

And that is dying...

Don't cry for me, I am not gone.
My soul is at rest, my heart lives on.
Light a candle for me to see,
and hold on to my memory.
But save your tears for I am still here,
by your side, through the years.

“Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.”

WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE AFRAID; YES, YOU WILL LIE DOWN AND YOUR SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. Amen.
( PROVERBS 3:24 )

WELL DONE

Kevin - I miss you every second of every day.  One Breath Apart.
Until I see you again.

Love you for all time.
