A bit of heaven

Every once in a lifetime, there comes along someone bearing the light into our lives. It may be the flame within our soul which had been extinguished by the icy breath of sorrow and loss, or it may be the spark of hope and faith that keeps us moving forward.

Some find that luminescent soul mate in a friend, some find it in their parents; and sometimes we find them in our spouses and life partners.

You wonder how you’d ever be able to repay their generosity to the fullest. Their warmth makes you want to feel the sun rays on your skin again and smile through your tears. They make you want to take your shoes off and go dancing, soaking in the rain.

They unshackle your soul from the burden of guilt of the past, and the apprehension of future. There is melody in the words they speak to you, and harmony in their silence that soothes your soul. The ones who understand you perfectly, completely and accept you just the way you are, unconditionally.

Theirs is the strength that becomes yours and you are finally able to lift yourself out of that destructive abyss and say that ‘I have done it. It may have taken a while but I have done it.’

Cherish these rare souls in your life. They are the miracles that God sent your way long before you asked for them. The ones who through their everyday words and deeds create a bit of heaven on this mortal planet. ~
