I eased a gentle woman, Betty, My Mother, into the afterlife. and now one month later, I will ease my Father, Marland,I WILL RAISE HIM UP ON THE LAST DAY. I have learned life's lessons and I am ready to step up to my position in the life cycle. I have done a good job. I have tilled the soil, I have planted the seed of life, liberty and justice. I have endured the fury of Mother Nature, I have fertilized the soil with my descendents. I have weeded the Garden of anger, hate, self-pity and sin. I have nourished health, kindness, caring and forgiveness. I have been patient, I have embraced humility. I thank you Mom and Dad for the lessons you have taught me. I thank you for your dedication, discipline, conviction, perseverance, understanding, and for being human and asking forgiveness for your errors. You taught me that every error was not a mistake, to never give up, to get "off your high horse", and to endure suffering, having faith that it is God's will and divine plan. Now it is time, for a new beginning, for all of us. God Bless you and keep you! With all my love, Your Daughter, Deborah Marlene Wright |
