When The Trumpets Sound

I have lived my life the best way that I know how.
Traveling down many paths, I have taken some wrong roads. Some how I always seem to find my way back to the right direction.

Life on earth is so fleeting....

We make many friends and memories along the way.
We grow....in love....in self......
until that final day when we are called to our destinies.

We leave behind those we love, as they mourn the loss of a life so precious to them.

Remember....that even in death, there is new life.

Do not cry for me, but rather celebrate my life
on that glorious day.................
when the trumpets sound.

Dedicated to Catalinamoon in her time of Loss, heart hugs to her
I learned of her Grandmothers death within hours of writing this, so Sandra, this is dedicated to you......for your Grandmother that means so much to you.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

Heart hugs to you all, and so glad you enjoyed. It pleases me to make others smile....(I hope that Sandras smile shall return soon to her.)

Oh, I have tears in my eyes. Thank you so much, sweet friend. How blessed I am to have found such a wonderful group of friends here.
I am doing better, I know she must be with my Grandpa and the sister she loved dearly.
Thanks again,
Sandra
