Saying Good-bye

Good-bye's are never easy...at least for me. I'm not sure why it's that way...but it is. I recently had to come to terms with the death of fellow employee at my work place. At the respect of her family - I'll not identify her - other than an angel sent from heaven for a very short time. Although I did not know her well - I do know that she was a nurse and a caring one, too. She always knew she wanted to save lives...and had the biggest opportunity to do just that. In her death she saved countless lives through organ donation. For her there is no more pain...for us left here on earth a little while longer, there is. I know it's hard not to ask 'why'...I've found myself in times of prayer, confessing that I do wonder why...at 39 years old...she left us. I'm reminded, lovingly by the Holy Spirit, that God has a Master Plan...and He will bring about good. My sweet husband - reminded me of that very scripture (Romans 8:28) - that good has come about by her passing - with organ donation. I do know every time I think of her I will give thanks to my God...for allowing me to know her for the short time that I did...she made a big impact.
