Three weeks
she said… it seems as if it was a lifetime ago, but yet just yesterday that he left. I understand I replied as I saw a reflection of myself in the tears that welled up in her beautiful brown eyes. For just a few days ago, a friend had also commented on my post that it is hard to believe that so much time has passed since myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Pope left us.
How appropriate it seems that I am with her three weeks after the day that God tapped me on the shoulder to go see her honey play. I remember thinking to myself as he played, who is this man? What soulful music is roused from the strings of his guitar and wanders to the heavens? And tonight, she told me that he often referred to his guitar as heaven’s harp. And now it makes perfect sense, the dots have connected in my head…. he was able to convey his very thoughts of heavenly music drifting from the stage, and they permeated my very own thoughts. And he looked to the sky…
Three weeks…. the first steps of a new journey. Pray, love, write, cry, feel and don’t forget to breathe my dear new friend. And every day I invite you to join me in renewing your trust in the Lord, on this journey that seems to have just begun yesterday but has been going on for a lifetime.
And today my Lord, I am grateful for the honor of sharing my journey with anyone who may need to hear the message. And though it all, you have not forsaken me but are there every step of the way, giving me the strength and understanding that he prayed for yesterday a lifetime ago.
