Received a wonderful note in the mail from a dear friend. She had been out of town....actually, she was out of the country, when John died. Her words are powerful.
"It really hit hard when I got that early morning email, even though we knew of John's struggles. When the news came, I had a vision of John. He was shrugging his shoulders and with a chuckle, and his hands in the air as if to say, 'Gotta Go', and I cried. Maybe you're familiar with this gesture, I sure saw him do it more than once.
One of the things we do here by the ocean, is get up early before sunrise and watch the fisher people head to their boats, in hopes of catching the big ones that day. The sun is barely peeping over the horizon when the boats are speeding off just showing silhouettes on an early morning orange background. As we headed to the shore area to sit and just meditate over the sunrise and John's passing, it was so very emotional. We waved good bye to John and it really felt like he was passing over us. And then the thought of this particular sunrise, the first without John Adams on the earth with everyone. It is still so hard to accept that reality and I can only imagine the pain you feel.
I admire your strength which I believe comes from that inner place in all of us where the higher power reigns waiting to help us get through what ever we may face on this life journey. And now everyone's journey has changed forever with John's absence. Your man John really had a presence here and now we realize the blessing that he truly was."
What sweet words, thank you dear friend.
