Underneath the sky of blue, and down the street from the lake where the birds are nesting and the spring flowers are blooming, a neighbor took his life. He was 49 years old. While I did not know him personally, other than sharing a few conversations with him in the alleys and at the lake where he always walked his beloved dogs, my mother did. He was wonderful to her and looked out for her every day. He was loved by many, though he may not have been feeling that love as he left this earth. I pray that somehow, someway, he knew of peace and unconditional love as his spirit soared to the care of our maker.
In this season of hope and renewal, may we always find those who we have lost in the nurturing light and soulful song of the universe.
God Bless him always.
Amen.
Dearest Kim,Wishing Your heart every joy..
Amen ..God bless to the man down the street Amen..

I am so sorry to hear about your neighbor, Kim. What a special post this is to remember him by. It must have really hit your mom, as he was so good to her. Thinking of your mom and you today, my dear.

Oh, this is so sad. As Rosemary, Sheri and Vee have already expressed, you have tenderly wished a neighbor God's love and grace as He welcomed him home. Blessings and peace to you and your mother, as well as to this young man's family, as you all cope with this tragic loss.

Kim, So sad. Hard to understand. I always wonder if I would just smile at someone or say Hello, would it make a difference. Love the pictures. Thanks, Mary
