My much loved brother-in-law, Wayne, finally passed away peacefully in his sleep. He had suffered a stroke about 1 1/2 years ago and remained bedridden and helpless all of that time...no way to live. I'm so glad he has finally been set free because I know he would never have wanted to spend his remaining days in that condition and neither would most of us. My children know my wishes...I don't want to suffer like Wayne did and I hope they'll be able to see that I don't. Shelley jokes that they're all waiting to pull the plug on me.
I'm not religious but true to form I do have my own personal belief that there is some sort of existence after death. Logic dictates that this magical life force can't only last a few short years. I also experienced the wonder of Dennis' spirit freeing itself from his body when he passed away but that was just confirmation of something I've always believed.
And so I believe our Wayne, always so much fun and so alive in spirit, is somewhere right now laughing and enjoying his new freedom from a body that had stopped serving him. He's probably singing some old country song and sidling up to a pretty young lady spirit and hoping everything works like it did on earth.
Love you and miss you, my brother.
