Coming In From the Stars and Departing Through the Stars

This is an old article I had written during the time I lived in Riga, Latvia. During the time when my soul mate was alive and I thought life would always go on with the two of us together. In the article, you will also read that I had thoughts that perhaps I would be the first to depart with the angels because I could not imagine life without my love and see how strangely things turn out in life. He is gone and I still have to go on. 

When we come into this world we don’t ask to be born. We cannot choose the parents we’ll have nor can we decide what kind of life we want to lead. We have to take what we get. Some of us luck out and unfortunately, some don’t. I had a very happy childhood and for that, I am very grateful to my parents. I truly believe that the stars are out paths to and from this world. For all my life I have had a row of beauty marks going down my left arm that greatly resemble the Milky Way. 

We all have our different beliefs and that is just fine, I for one never lose my faith and trust that God will eventually take care of me once it’s my time to depart. However, if you believe anything different that is entirely up to you. I just know for sure that I won’t be saying, “Beam me up, Scotty”. In the meantime, I worry about everyone around me. I have my moments each morning when I wake up to find my hubby sleeping beside me and our cat Sid sleeping by my feet. The three of us look like – mama bear, papa bear, and baby bear in the bed.

As odd as it might seem to you the one thing I definitely have to know in the mornings is that everything is alright in my world. So I first look to see that hubby is sleeping peacefully and is still in this world with me and that Sid is alright. I have thought about what the two of them would do if they discovered that I had departed during the night. About that, I have a little scenario. They wake up to the discovery and my soul has already realized that it has departed from my body. After the first initial shock of realization, I look to see how we are all sleeping and hope that I can make my presence known and hope that is of some comfort to my hubby. If the scenario should be the other way around I am not sure how I would take it and that is why I have my morning ritual.

So you see how it was and how it all turned out. But it was a good life and I have my memories. This was written about five or so years ago.
