Last Goodbyes

Saturday, I will say 'Goodbye' one last time to my cousin, Brian Eliot Holmes.  There will be tears. There will be heartache. There will be pain. There will be goodbyes.  Last goodbyes.

But we will see him again. In Glory- where there is no pain, no grieving. Just Joy and Love- in their purest forms.

And while I don't understand the why's in any of this, while I miss my cousin dearly, while we grieve the loss of his physical presence- my family and I do rejoice in the fact that I will say hello to him once again. And I will never say goodbye again.
