Gone From My Sight
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone"
Gone where?
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"
And that is dying...

Sending Love and Prayers from Florida.
The service and celebration of AJ's life was beautiful and respectful. Sending prayers and love to family and friends. :rose:
The service was beautiful and overflowing with people that loved and cared about AJ. I gave Zack a hug for everyone.
Zach, I can't tell you how much it means for you to post on FB photos from the service for those that could not be there . You are such a thoughtful wonderful person to do that at such a difficult time for you. Our thoughts have been with you all day.
And from New York.First post, been lurking for years! May everyone who loves this beautiful girl find peace. Hugs and prayers from Michigan.
