Dear Jack,
Do you ever wonder how many lives you have changed? I lost my husband, father, and brother all within a six-month period of time. I could not express my sorrow and got stuck in toxic grief that lasted almost three years.
My favorite cat, a beautiful Flame Point, was my only solace. He lived 16 years and his passing took a large toll on me as I had needed him so much for comfort. He lost his battle with kidney failure and I finally helped to set him free of his earthy body to live in the wonderful place where pain has no place. But I digress.
It is a comfort to write to you who cares, does not judge and offers all who come to you comfort, love and hope. These are scarce commodities sometimes here on earth. I pray that your story spreads far and wide and that those who grieve find you and join those of us who love you beyond that which words can express.
Thank you very much for your kind letter. To answer your questions, I've lost track of how many lives – it’s impossible to know - but from where I see it now, I can see that one act of love goes beyond our deepest imaginings! Your love is doing the same thing and your words of appreciation have traveled into my heart.
Your boy has been Here longer than I, but he says that it's been like the blink of an eye from when he arrived until I came through the gate. I know you think he lost the battle, but he actually won it. He got the prize.
The one thing everyone on the earth--two-legged or four-legged-- must remember: the most important priority in life is to prepare for the next life. That life is the real life. That life is immortality. This life of yours is just a dream and your husband, your father, your brother, they were all players in the script. They loved you when they were there with you and they now await your arrival one day Here with arms open wide and hearts a thousand times greater than they were when they lived on earth with you.
When I crossed the bridge, Kate could not see all the good things that were ahead of her, but she sees them now. She is meeting beautiful people like you who connect with her because of our books and she, too, will one day see where this life is leading. It's all about who we love and where we are ultimately going. Keep the faith: in the blink of an eye we'll be together again.
Love, Jack
