Good Bye - Update in Post 1

I've tried to come up with just the right thing to say.

This is all I have:

Go in peace. I'll pray for you and your family.
 
Yogi...I heard your smarter than the average bear. I spent many hours watching YogiBear, and it never failed to put a smile on my face. Sigh....I asked a friend to be on the lookout for you. You're in good hands. Please let your family know we are here for them. :( Till we meet again.
 
My sincere condolences to his family. Our number has been significantly diminished by his passing. May the good Lord bless and keep him.

John

Gone From My Sight

By Henry Van Dyke

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.



Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone."



Gone where?



Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.


And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"



And that is dying...
