recently, i’ve been faced with death.

everywhere, it seems.
coming from every side, and multiple east coast states.
from roadkill, to multiple phone calls to mark the passing of loved ones.
with still more on the brink, waiting.

though for all, it proves relief to all involved from much burden and pain –
to say it’s not painful to lose them would be a lie.
but, the pain runs deeper when i don’t know where they’re going…

in it, i’ve tasted my own mortality.
realizing that more than ever, i wait expectantly for the day i can be with my God.

and see them again.

suddenly, priorities in life seem much clearer…
