Tonight, I lay awake crying for the loss of another friend. A special man in my life who was so dear. He called himself my "work husband" and he and Len loved the playful competition for my time.
He has been one of several "work husbands" in my career but he was one of the best. From the moment I met him, he made me nervous, made me laugh, made me comfortable, made me cry, allowed me to be me and not something he thought I should be. He mentored me, encouraged me to be better, to do better, to believe more and more that I deserved better. He pushed me because he saw something in me that I did not.
My friend was quiet on the inside, gentle, and meek. Meek...not weak. There is a difference. He was humble. Yet, when needed, he pushed. Pushed for you to see the big picture to see the greater outcome, to see his passion for the greater outcome. If you were in his circle of friends, you were truly trusted and loved deeply.
Tonight, I lay awake mourning, crying, praying for his family. Praying peace, comfort, and that through this his ultimate healing, they themselves will be healed. Illness takes its toll on the physical body, but those around you...the one suffering the actual illness, suffer also. They have watched your struggle. They have felt your pain, your fears, your concerns. They have encouraged you to fight to win the prize of being healed. And now...they mourn. They...we... mourn the loss of a life, a presence, so precious. The life of one so generous and kind, one who touched so many through his efforts to provide for so many people in many different ways. I pray God's blessing over the friends and family of my friend. That they will be healed in their emotions, body, mind, and soul. That through this time of sorrow they draw closer to their Savior. That if they do not know Christ, that they will come to seek His comfort and healing, and love and come to know Him. For only He can bring the deep inner calming peace during even the most hurricane force storms of our lives. To know that He will provide what is needed, when it is need, and more than what is needed.
Tonight, I lay awake, crying....rejoicing in celebrating the life of my friend. Rejoicing and praising God. Because, my friend was not alone when he went home this morning. Jesus was with him...of that, I feel a peace in my soul. I lay awake crying, celebrating and remembering the lyrics to the refrain from a song by Kathy Troccoli' "Goodbye For Now". They read, " But there will be a time when I'll see your face and I'll hear your voice and there we will laugh again. And there will come a day when I'll hold you close. No more tears to cry 'cause we'll have forever. But I'll say goodbye for now."
Tonight...I lay awake...and cry...celebrating that you my friend fit the scripture of 2 Timothy 4:6-8 " For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing."
So...tonight, I lay awake...and cry.
