My View, My Journey to Jesus
September 11, 2021
Hi Guys!
I cannot believe it’s September already. Life is moving so fast and a lot is going on. What a sad and difficult time for our nation today. Just remembering those who were lost in the 9/11 tragedy 20 years ago is still hard. I feel for their families. We grieve for them all over again. Every year on this date I feel a little paralyzed.
Who manages death well, certainly not me. The aftermath of losing a loved one is never easy. On top of my thoughts for the 9/11 victims and their families, I’m dealing with my own personal grief as well. Earlier this week, I lost a very special friend to a rare form of cancer. The pain, I cannot express in words how much this hurts and the shock I am still feeling. She was a beautiful, kind, peaceful, intelligent young woman with a heart of gold. Everyone liked her. She didn’t know she was sick. No one did. She spent several days in the hospital to no avail, the physicians were unable to diagnose her illness in time to save her life.
What do you do when you feel sad? I’m just not ready to let go. I feel like this is a nightmare and I am fighting to awake. I am not ready to verbalize that this was God's will for her life. However, he definitely allowed her passing to take place at time. I have to cherish her, our memories, her laughter, advice, her kindness, and sassy behavior as well. I loved how sassy and sure of herself she was. I admired her greatly. Too many wonderful things about her I will miss. Too many wonderful things about her to name. Yes, my tears still fall daily, even as I write this post. I still hear her and see her. She didn’t have children and she wasn’t married, yet the impact she left in my life and the imprint she left in this world is more than I could ask God for and be grateful for.
The power of expressing love to someone is an opportunity we all should never take for granted. I am happy we got to say I love you to each other. I am happy I got to hear the excitement in her voice when she received the flowers I sent to her. She loved flowers. To God be all glory. Thank you for crossing my path with a wonderful unique woman. She was truly my friend. No doubts about it. Karen Grima, I love you always, think about you daily, and will miss you greatly. Until we meet again girl…. Have fun in Heaven. 💔
Love Marti
ALWAYS THANK GOD
