“The function of a man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them, I shall use my time.”-Jack London

It is night and my mind is beginning to wander, and the first thing that happens, of course, is that I start missing you. I am still so numb to the fact that you are no longer gracing the Earth with your presence. It is an absolute tragedy how one person can make your life so…full of life and once they are gone, it is gray and, colorless. 

I always think about Heaven, after all it is our true home. I think of you and Heaven and how you must be so happy. I remember you telling me that if you could meet any 3 people that it would’ve been Jack London, Johnny Cash, and admittedly, I forget the third. I imagine you’ve probably met them by now, perhaps you’re even good friends with Mr.London and Mr.Cash. When I thought about that, I thought about how amazing that is, the way that in Heaven you can meet and befriend anybody. You can be friends with souls that existed long before you, because it doesn’t matter if you were alive during the same century, in Heaven you aren’t bound by Earthly time. With that being said, I can see why Heaven is the ultimate place to be, the place of eternal happiness. Your friend pool is probably a lot more interesting than mine.

There will be more posts to come. I just wanted to share that revelation I had/tonight’s thoughts. 

Ps) I feel really honored that I exitsted the same century as you, that God allowed our lives to overlap for the short amount of time that they did. I won’t have to wait to get to Heaven to meet someone that seems too good to be true. I’ll just have to wait for Heaven to experience that again. Granted, you were too good to be true. I often thought to myself after talking to you/visiting with you “this is too good to be true, to have someone like my uncle”. You were too good to be true for this Earth, I felt it all along, however you were true, and I’m grateful.
