Daily Good Blessing 2013.1.31 "Though the light of a life may grow dim, the flame of that life burns bright with the memories we hold within." KLGMc

I have a friend who's father is dying of cancer. Since I found out, my mind has been filled with thoughts of my own Father and his succumbing to cancer over seven years ago.
During his last moments on earth, I watched the light, that was always my Dad, grow dimmer and dimmer until it flickered and went out. Yet in the years since my Father passed from this life onto the next, I have felt his light burning brightly within me.
I know that the flame of life, that was my Dad, hasn't gone out. With my friends announcement my mind has been flooded with fond memories of who my Dad was, and that is exactly who he still is. Although I miss him terribly, I know that he now dwells in the life hereafter where one day, I will be able to throw my arms around him once again.
My friend is going through one of the roughest times of life. Yet the great hope of God's Great Plan of Happiness for His Children, is the knowledge that when the flame of life slowly dims and appears to go out,
it still burns bright.
Until that day I have the memories I cherish of my Dad, to keep his flame burning bright within me.
