A boy at my high school died last week in a car accident. It was a tragic event and impacted everyone that knew him. It is hard to believe he was gone, a few months away from graduation. He had a lot left in life.
However, at the funeral, one of the speakers said, "We are only on loan." We have been truly been giving a blessing to be on this world and don't know when we will be taken back; so every moment is a treasure, a gift from God. The boy is now in Heaven, I am sure, with beautiful wings to carry him through the skies.
This event has been an eye-opener, but as the bishop said yesterday, "If we just had sun all the time, we'd have a desert. If we just had rain, we'd have a swamp. It takes both the sun and rain to make a balance." Sadness will come, but so will happiness. And we are only here for a short time, and though we must depart from each other for a little while at some point, we will all meet up again one day.
