For avid
2-13-2008
It seemed wrong. she sat. He served. Yet it was. It had not always been so. For years she had been His, served Him with all her heart and soul. Then, it happened. The disease. It slowly robbed her of everything and He suffered to see it. she had served as long as she could, even through blinding pain. He had allowed it, knowing to stop her would have caused her pain of the soul to match that of her body. Eventually, she could serve no more. For avid.
Now He bathed her, He fed her, He served her. It tore at His heart to see her suffer but He never let her see it. she had stayed with Him, for Him, but now He could allow it no longer. He knelt beside her chair, gently taking her hand in His, heart wrenched by the pain this simple act caused her.
“you hurt,” He said.
Though the illness had robbed her of the ability to even speak, He saw His answer in her eyes.
“you wish to go.” It was a statement rather than a question.
her lips formed the word 'no', though no sound emerged.
His features took on a stern cast. “Do not lie to Me, little one.”
her eyes fell from His in shame but He touched her face with incredibly tender fingers. she again met His gaze.
“you wish to go.”
This time her lips formed the single word 'yes' and her eyes filled with tears of more than pain.
“Then you may go, My treasure. But wait for Me when you arrive, for I shall be with you soon.”
Love and gratitude filled her eyes as they welled again with tears. His eyes too filled as He held her had so very, very gently.
“Go, My pet.”
And as she obeyed the last of His order she would in this world, He wept.
A friend

I just heard the news. It saddens me. She was a friend, forgiving, sweet, lovable, dear, desirable. Life will seem a little less for her absence. Michael

i just heard that W/we lost a very dear and sweet wonderful woman. i cry because i will miss her so very much , not because she has left U/us for a much better place... As we walk through life our spirit guide walks ahead of us on our right and death walks behind us on our left . When we have hard times when we think we just can't go on , death wants to embrace us and take us to a better place , the Spirit guide says no .... she has to learn ... we grow stronger ... So , be not afraid of death for He is the warm , kind and loving one that takes us from our pain , wraps us in comfort and cries for the ones that are left behind .... gods miss her so much already ... you will be forever in my heart , loves you avid ..... bren
Letter From Heaven
Feb 2008
I would like to share this poem that I found many years ago on the net, its helped me through some hard times and I hope it can help avid's family and friends too. avid, I did not know you as well as I would have liked, rest in peace. Dream` Letter From Heaven. To my dearest family some things I'd like to say
But first of all to let you know that I arrived today,
I'm writing this from Heaven. Here I shall dwell with God above
Here, there's no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and He said "I welcome you,
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone,
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you are part of my plan
There's so much that we have to do to help our mortal man."
God gave me a fist of things that he wished for me to do
And foremost on the list was to watch and care for you
And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you . . in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth and all those loving years
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
1 wish that I could tell you all that God has planned
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand
But one thing is for certain though my life on earth is o'er
I'm closer to you now than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind
And when it's time for you to go ... from that body to be free
Remember you're not going ... you're just coming here to me.

a different view of Heaven for avid... the Psalm of Master -mY love ya, avid
my Lord is my Master; i shall not want.
He leads me to search out greener pastures;
He teaches me the strength of still waters.
He owns my soul;
He points my feet on a journey that is right for me, for i am His.
Even though my path leads through the unknown and untried;
i fear no harm: For He is with me;
His rod and His staff, they comfort me.
His collar encircles my neck with steel; my heart overflows.
He completes and strengthens me through discipline, love, and pain;
Surely honor and trust shall blossom in me all the days of my life,
and my will, surrendered to the control of my Master, forever.

Avid - The Second Day
31 January 2008
Shock But look, can you see So beatutiful, all of them, the Expressions What greater gift, from you to U/us sofia
twists and turns along a jagged path,
Reality
takes hold, gripping tightly in the aftermath
Avid
has left us for the Better Place,
the overwhelming loss
a dark and empty space.
what has come to be--
Your light shines with a brilliant force
in the tributes written with devoted love.
Be proud, dearest avid
as you watch from up above
At the Legacy you left.
and T/those that wrote them, too.
The poems, the music, the pictures
especially for you
Like the glorious warmth of the shining sun
Even now, you bring out the best in everyone.
could there ever be
Than your beloved spirit
Forever living here with us,
prssed to our hearts
Eternally
avid-ly

Did we tease so much about being angels that you felt obliged to go out and become one? This really sucks... Your off-the-wall sense of humor and impeccable timing will be sorely missed. I'm going to dance and sing and tell crude jokes to say goodbye, though, because I don't think you'd want it any other way. Avid-ly living on, if only in all our hearts. Rest well, dearheart.
