Mysteries of life and death

Today (December 1, 2014) I went to a "friend"s" Facebook site to wish her a happy birthday. The word "friend's" is in quotes because I have actually never met this person. She is the wife of a high school pal, and when I found him via Facebook, I also found her. Through him, I learned that she loves the geek world as much as he does, and they are raising two beautiful little geeklets with a life full of fun, and LOTR, and Harry Potter, and Loki, and all things weird. I also learned how much he absolutely adores her, and they make my heart so incredibly happy to witness their on going devotion to each other.  So, today she turned 44, and I am sad to learn, today she also began a new life with God. I don't know the circumstances of her passing, just that she passed away this morning. Even though I never met her face to face,  I understand how much he loves her and how lonely he will be without her, and that makes my heart so incredibly sad. God's speed, my friend. Happy heavenly birthday. Until we meet...
