Dearest Pat, I want to share with all who have known us, my gratitude to you, Pat. It is two years since you went “Home.” I feel your spiritual presence with me more and more, as I feel the loss of our physical connection. There is a deep bond, a tie that is always present. I can see and appreciate now that this relationship was also our souls’ assignment...to see beyond our physical bodies, and to invite our angels in. What a gift…what fun…what joy and what a delicious relationship we shared as we travelled the universe as the chalices of spirit’s teachings. I was looking at some pictures of us…and found this letter that you wrote to me, and reading it, I remembered the perfection of our relationship. |
“To Barbara, If anyone had asked me when I was a little kid, to design a perfect friend, I would have given an absolute description of you. I would have said: “First she has to think I am funny, and I have to think she is funny. Then we have to share the same passion for Truth, love, beauty and integrity. Then she has to have a sense of adventure and a robust willingness to And
then she has to be the one person I can say anything to knowing
I’ll never be judged and who trusts me in the same way. She
has to be someone I can be scared with and brave with…
and still have a good time.
Thank you Barbara, the Angels must have always known… Because here you are. I love you.” Pat. |
I have been sitting with this description of our relationship. What a simple reminder of what an intimate relationship needs to offer each partner. Pat, thank you for reminding me, and giving me an opportunity to share with you the reality of a loving relationship for over thirty years. What I miss so much today is the loving mirror that you held up for me so that I could remember who I am. I miss you, and I know that our love is eternal. "Death
is the end of a lifetime, not the end of a relationship." -- Mitch Albom
Happy Birthday Pat, dear friend of my heart. |
