Loss

We lost Gareth yesterday morning, it was his 28th birthday. Our friend who for nearly six years now has carried a horrible illness. The last eight months we watched him deteriorate to being unable to communicate with his wee family (although he fought to discover new ways of doing that) or enjoy his much loved grub.
Yesterday afternoon I stood beside his lovely Gayle and we watched little Joseph who is just one play in the snow with some of the guys. I thought my heart was going to explode right there.
I felt as I stood beside his bed yesterday morning that God had stepped in and said "enough is enough, time to come home". I then had this notion that God pulled aside the curtain and give him a glimpse of home.

Heavens gain is all our loss. I miss him. X
