Farewell Ms. Linda...
Last week I went to Austin for a conference... I was glad cause it usually is fun to go on this business trips. Nice place... nice food... don't know if I can say the same about the people but still... I had fun.
Ms. Linda is a friend of mine... we work together initially but during those times we became friends. She's the only person that I trust with everything in my life, in my work. She had breast cancer. Several surgeries should have cured her but no... that tumor continued to spread in her body.
She's a tough lady, never did she once complained about her condition... she had so much faith in God. I prayed that everything would be okay, but on the 6th, one day before my birthday I heard the news that she had passed away. It was a total surprise for me, I've heard news that she was back home and in bed... last time I remember seeing her she looked okay... but I guess her body couldn't take anymore.
The chemotheraphy didn't work, the cancer went to her lungs and she couldn't breathe... it was all too sudden... it came as a surprise to me... here I am thinking of what to say to her when I get back... of the cool and fun things I've learned. But I won't be able to now, cause she's gone...
What am I saying... she will never be gone... all the wisdom that she has shared with me will always be in my memory. The times we shared together will always be in my heart.
Farewell Ms. Linda... 'till we meet again (~_~`)
I remember whenever I would visit her she would hum a song... it was this song...
Amazing Grace
Words by John Newton 1779
Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear,
And Grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come.
'Tis Grace hath brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His Word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.
