I’m 71 and started writing quite by accident over 15 years ago. My wife of 20 years, Mary Jo, died suddenly while we were on a 2nd honeymoon 21 years ago. We were on a cruise ship’s dance floor and a blood clot hit her heart, she was perfectly healthy and died instantly. I totally understand the word surreal because I’ve experienced it. We had loved and still love one another deeply. Over 10 years ago I awoke from a dream I knew had been about M.J., I couldn’t remember any specifics but “What If I told you?” was a very vivid thought. My very first writing was immediately written in only 20 minutes on the memo pad in my phone. I wasn’t even thinking. I know the words came from Mary Jo. If interested, you can read these beautiful thoughts in my manuscript “Two Faces, One Life: The Journey Within”. 

Today is 5/26/2024 at 5:06am. Once again, I suddenly woke up and knew I had to write my thoughts down while still fresh. We say to our family and close friends, “I love you”, I now as of today understand what these words truly mean. They mean we love because we’re God’s Eternal Child. We love because we were created by love. Love however is a two-edged sword. We don’t understand the true depth of love until we mistakenly think it’s gone. If you’ve experienced the death of a loved one or the tragic breakup of a relationship, you know exactly what I’m talking about. In my entire life, it has always taken a lot of complicated thought processes to figure out everything is quite simple. We can never lose love.

We’ve all heard “God Is Love”, what is the significance of this? The meaning is we’ll live forever in a state of unending, perpetually growing, astoundingly beautiful existence, always surrounded by and saturated with a love that is eternal, incredibly powerful, unchanging, forever pure, always giving and immensely joyful. Ecstasy forever. When we finally leave this weak human body, our mind will create a magnificently strong spiritual body that will be incredible. We’ll be able to fly and much, much more. Know this.
