The next chapter…
what will you write in yours? I wrote this just a year prior and posted it to myDarlin’s wall on Facebook. For you see, we were celebrating his clean bill of health and had every reason to look forward to thousands of days in each other’s arms. And we gave thanks for the blessings in our lives and looked forward to a trip back to his home in Hawaii…
And two years prior, we celebrated a successful six week checkup, and myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Pope graduated’ from riding in the back seat back into the driver’s seat. We visited his work family and I thought to myself that I truly knew what it was like to be in the presence of a rock star as everyone gathered round him. And we gave thanks for the blessings in our lives and looked forward to our trip to Hawaii for his daughter’s wedding….
A little over twelve years ago, we met and began the journey of a lifetime, a new chapter in both of our lives. The joy came in building our timeless love based on years of life experiences, vowing to cherish each other, our love and our Ohana. And while in Central Park, I had a street vendor make a painting for myDarlin’ that reads (in Kanji) “I always knew that I would find you.” And we gave thanks for the blessings in our lives and looked forward to whatever the future held for us.
And a song plays in my mind. It came to be long before we ever met, from a place that already knew we would meet; the future meets the present.
Oh once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Yeah nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
'Cause our love will light the way
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
'Cause our love will light the way
And baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven….
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven….
Today I am faced with turning another page in the book of life and can’t help but think that we weren’t done writing yet myDarlin’. And even though it really felt like heaven here on earth, I know that you have moved beyond earthly constraints and are rejoicing in heaven as you celebrate your final chapter, playing in God’s House Band.
I am grateful that myLord sent myDarlin’ to be my co-author in writing the best chapter in my life. And as I begin to write the next chapter in my life, our love will light the way.
