Just one year ago, today, was my last day, in the physical world, with my dear Tonja Toni. It has now been, just four days since Tonja Toni passed to what Dakota's call, the "Other Side Camp." It was also today, a year ago, that I very foolishly, hurt my back trying to follow my beloved fathers riding days that extended into his early 80's.
The big difference was my father rode every day, and I had not ridden, for at least, 30 years, and my father would not have ridden a horse with the stirrups too long and I did. As a result, It has been a tough year, with back surgery, etc. I was almost helpless, at times, but my wife and son's love and. support was always with me, sometimes 24/7.
Today, after completing the Remembrance and Honoring Ceremonies for Tonja Toni, and other relatives, who have recently and unexpectedly, passed to the Worlds of Light, other than my earth suit naturally. wearing out, I feel better spiritually, emotionally, and mentally than ever before. I almost feel like I am becoming an Elder.
To sum it up, while outwardly parts of my journey have seemed. like burning. fire, inwardly it has been purifying water. Thank you, beloved Creator.
