Comment from Pearl Edwards
This is a lovely RIP poem for your cousin George and you've expressed it well with the dark cloud of grief becoming heaven's light. It is so sad that he died waiting for a transplant.

Hi Terry, thank you for your great review and for sharing your thoughts which mean a lot to me. I guess that dark cloud is still over me. Today, my Uncle Andy died. I wrote about him. He had pancreatic cancer - 88 years old. He had a good life and was loved by many. Just sharing. Once again, thank you for the review.
Sincerely, Margaret ~ LateBloomer
Comment from leather
Oh, how raw are the pains of grief? In this case, the hope that came from being on a waiting list was eclipsed by his untimely death.
I was relieved to hear that when his face appeared in that white light, he looked happy. Hold the happy thoughts.
Well-written.

That day, a dark cloud suddenly appeared while I was at the mailbox. After I shuffled through my mail, I look up, and the cloud parted. A bright light shone down. I thought of George, smiling as he always did. At that moment, I knew in my heart that he had passed. About an hour later, I received a call saying he had passed about an hour ago. God sent me a sign, and George was smiling. He liked what he saw. Thank you for your review. xo. LateBloomer

Thank you for sharing that experience. It had to be comforting to realize that his passing coincided with the time of the bright light-amazing!

I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin George going to Heaven too soon. I don't know how they determine who gets an organ transplant but the wait list is much too long. Your poem is still uplifting showing us a "wink" instead of a tear.

George was going to get a heart. His neighbors gave him a going away party before he left for the hospital. At that party, he contracted Covid which developed right after he got to the hospital and turned into Pneumonia. He was to remain in the hospital until a heart was available. In the meantime, they gave him a heart pump. His heart was too weak to fight covid, follow by pneumonia, and recovery from the heart pump. I don't think that when George went into the hospital, he ever thought that he wasn't going home again ... if only for a short while. Seven years ago, another cousin received a heart transplant, and he is doing fantastic. The luck of the draw. It was just George's time. If anything could go wrong, it did. George loved life, and he was loved by many. Thank you for your review. Xo. Margaret

Obviously, he was so loved that his friends gave him that party. But this insidious disease can lurk among symptom-free friends so it can be caught completely by surprise. It's awful that he got Covid. It is more of a vascular disease than a respiratory one but both heart and lungs are affected. One person we have been praying for was in the hospital for six months. But he did finally make it home. I'm sorry for George's family will pray for their comfort!

Thank you, Helen. My 12 year old granddaughter now has covid. She was travelling. I'm holding my breath for the rest of her house, including Dr. Steve who has had Covid 3 times. Yikes. I worry about the long-term affects that are still unknown. Life. It certainly keeps us on our toes.
Xo. Margaret

Keeps us praying! May the Lord heal your granddaughter quickly and protect and shield their household! 💖🙏

I am so sorry for your loss.
This verse is a powerful expression of the
sorrow you are feeling and the love you
have for your cousin, George.
This is beautifully written and has a heartfelt
sentiment.
He was a handsome man and I am sure he has
a loving family that will miss him everyday.
I hope that in sharing this you have found some
comfort from the FS family.

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
Always so sad to hear of someone losing somebody close to them. But it sounds like George is doing just fine. I sort of think he is in a better place than any of us actually.
I really like your description "he just winked, then slipped away" It makes me feel as though he has much better things to attend to than what is left back here on earth. I hope it is something like that. I hope it is so unbelievably wonderful that we will never miss anything or anyone we had to leave behind. Then when you see George again, you can tell him all about you seeing him wink at you.
I am so thankful I have the Lord in my life so I can at least think of what it may be like.
Very nice tribute, easy read and a soothing reminder of who we really are and where we will end up.
It's a simple little verse but I am compelled to give it six-stars just because it gives me and anybody else who reads it so much to hope for.

Hello Gary, thank you for your heartfelt review and for sharing your thoughts. Yes, George is in a better place. He was a favorite cousin to his cousins. He will be missed. It's difficult to comprehend that he is really gone. It was so quick. Once again, thank you for your review and for those Six glowing stars.
Sincerely, Margaret ~ LateBloomer
