In the recent years, cancer has become undeniably real to me. In the last 10 months alone, I lost a wonderful friend and now an aunt. Both happened incrementally but within too short a time for me to process. It's been almost a year since the first happened and I'm not sure that I've even come to terms with it yet. Some days it doesn't feel real, it feels like my friend and I have simply drifted apart and any day now we could have a chat and meet up for coffee to talk about old times.
Death just feels so final. As a Christian, I know that it's not the end, that we will one day be reunited again. But the current truth is hard to bear - you will never see them again. In this life, there are no more shared stories, embraces before a goodbye, or secret inside jokes. In this life, your relationship is over.
I pray that they're all in Your embrace.
