A friend of mine recently lost her father. She had been very close to him since her mother's death some years ago and she wrote to me of her "unbearable pain" and how heart wrenching it was. I can very well understand how she feels, having been in the same boat when my Mum left us. Sometimes I wish God would arrange it in such a way that it won't be so painful for us. Maybe when it's time for a loved one to go, all he or she has to do is pack a bag and go off to some island haven away from civilization. No elaborate funeral, just a quiet departure. At the haven, all that the dearly departed do is to bask in the sun and be at peace, and perhaps once or twice a year, their loved ones would be allowed to visit them. Wouldn't that be wonderful! Alas, I'm not God and I can't change anything. Oh well, just wishful thinking. I don't think He would approve of my proposal anyway....
