I’ve never been good with good-byes. I still remember in first grade when my favorite teacher left I wept bitterly. My mom tried to comfort me with “it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” “No, it’s not!” I argued through tears, “I wish I’d never met her!” I’ve grown up a little since then, but still it’s difficult for me to accept when someone leaves and you know it’s forever.
Well, the French boy scouts left last week, and while I didn’t cry, it was a bit hard to take knowing that our paths will probably never cross again. Standing on the veranda of the chapel, as we were saying good-bye with comments like “Have a nice life!” and “See you on Facebook!”one of them said “See you in Heaven!” How comforting! What joy!! Of course I’ll see them again. The promise of Heaven is ours and this life is but a day in the eternal glory we will share!
See you in Heaven,
