SHARLA (ON HER BIRTHDAY), WITH OUR DEAR FRIEND DEBBIE SKINNER.  THIS WAS TAKEN AFTER HER MOM AND DAD'S FUNERAL.  IT SEEMS THAT I AM BEGINNING TO HAVE A LOT OF LOVED ONES ON THE OTHER SIDE (WHICH MEANS THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT LOVE BEN SO MUCH THAT ARE WITH HIM).  I THINK OF DEATH SO DIFFERENTLY THAN I USED TO....I KNOW THEY ARE STILL WITH US.  I WONDER WHEN THEY ARE WITH US.  I PONDER ON WHAT THEY ARE DOING.....I KNOW THEY STILL LIVE!  I KNOW THEY LOVE US AND THEY KNOW OF OUR LOVE FOR THEM.  I KNOW THEY REALIZE WE MISS THEM TERRIBLY BUT THEY SEE ETERNITY AND KNOW THE SEPARATION IS A SHORT TIME.  WE ALL STILL GRIEVE...YET I KNOW THEY  DON'T WANT US TO BE SO SAD.  THEY WANT US TO ENJOY EACH MOMENT WITH OUR LOVED ONES HERE. THEY WOULD BE SO JOYFUL IF WE COULD BE HAPPY.
