Reality
I officiated at another wedding yesterday and everyting at it was pink, how Jill would have been in her element at it. Yesterday was one of those emotional rollercoaster days when there are emotions all over the place. With that comes pain from the depths within your soul that you never knew existed. I got into an empty car to come home to an empty house and to be honest I was exhausted. I sat and began to mop up my wounds which run so deep and I began to take heart in a little frame I bought a good friend the other day. I saw it in a shop and thought, how true, it said, "Love....not time heals all wounds". I talked some time ago about not judging people in my position for looking for love again but as time wears on and you have days like yesterday one just begins to realize its a must or you will die. Maybe some people can live without it but personally speaking I don't know how. Its just to hard folks and actually the worry of people judging begins to become unimportant in the stark reality of just being alone. I think God got it right when He said in Genesis 2 "Its not good for man to be alone". I promised God and myself I would be totally honest in these writings if only they could somehow help others cope with tragedy and death in their lives, so there it is. I can't be more honest than what I've been and the truth is I can't live alone. Someone ask me recently did I feel Jill's presence in our home. The answer is an emphatic no, (not even Biblical) actually the opposites true. I feel lonely empty and hurt, I loved her all her life, no one who knew us could question that but she's gone and isn't coming back thats the REALITY.

Hey Phil,
I believe its simply like this. Some time ago you told me to follow my heart. Ever since you took me in Sunday school all those years ago you have always done what God has wanted you to do and I believe you will do the same even now. Remember that old phrase you always say - Go for it! God bless you
Philip,
my heart so aches for you.
May God give you the desires of your heart.
We know that you are bound to be very lonely Phil. We can never fully understand because we have never had to experience the loss you have had. We want you to know we will never judge you for looking for love again - in fact we are praying that God in His time will bring into your life someone who will love, cherish and support you in all God has called you to do for His Kingdom. We loved Jill and treasure the memories of her life but we are with you now for we believe that in all you do you desire to please your Lord. We thank God for your openness and honesty. Love Alan and Gerry
God is still on your case!! Do whatever seems right in your heart.
