I swear I could hear his spirit fly
"People won't remember what you said
and people won't remember what you did,
but they will remember how you made them feel."
- Maya Angelou
I saw this quote in a weekly newsletter published by Marcia Hyatt --a wise woman,"coaching goddess," and owner of an art gallery in Lutsen, MN, one of my favorite places on earth, a place I shared with Kay and Ron, a place where I realized that I wanted Ron to be my father-no-papers, a request he granted.
This morning, at 10:26 am,
Ron Harrist drew his last earthly breath, with his beloved Kay at his side.
At that very moment, a thousand miles away,
I swear I could hear his spirit take flight.
How did Ron make me feel?
Cherished.
Like family.
As if I, too, could fly.
Thank you, Ron.
Thank you,Kay.
I love you both.
(And thank you, dear friends, for all your prayers.)
"Peace"
