Being Complete
by Janet Taylor

Less than a week ago, my Father passed in Spirit. Guess what? I feel great!

I have come to realize that one of the most valuable and greatest teachings brought forward by J-R and John Morton, is 'being complete' with everyone or 'closure.' I wouldn't attempt to refer you to a particular written passage or seminar, but I recall them both on different occasions speaking about the value of being complete as much as possible with everyone in our lives. I took that to mean that everything is said, shared and expressed so that when we are separated by miles, circumstances or death, inside of us, we are loving and clear with that person.

Though my father has been ill for quite some time, he lived a fairly normal life, enjoying a sound mind and a great sense of humor (one of his gifts to me). I was blessed in that, when my Father's health took a turn for the worse over eight months ago, I was able to spend a lot of quality time with him. He slowly grew weaker and thinner, anxiously awaiting his time to transition and wondering since he "let go," why he wasn't "going."

During our face-to-face visits and our numerous telephone conversations, we both were able to express our deep love and appreciation for each other, recall memories joyfully and set our minds at peace in the knowledge of our years of loving together. The day before he died, during our last conversation, he said to me, "Honey, it's really time to go," and I said that I knew that to be true. I told him that he should try to relax as much as possible, sleep, and when he woke up, he'd be in God's embrace. He said "That would be nice."

I again told him how much I loved and appreciated him, and sent him the Light for his journey home. Though I wasn't physically present when he finally gave over his Spirit, talking with him the previous day and spending seven days with him the week before was truly a gift. It was challenging watching his discomfort with his process and my mother try to let go of her mate of sixty-two years. It was truly a gift beyond what words can express, for never have I loved and appreciated my Father more, marveling at his strength and dignity, nor loved and appreciated the Travelers more for what they bring forth.

So, my hope is that you, too, take this important teaching to heart, and take the time to complete with those you love� in all moments� not just the final ones. I promise you, your reward will be one of joy, love and peace.

To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me

When I am gone, release me, let me go -
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave you my love, You can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness,
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it's time I traveled on alone.

So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust,
It's only for a while that we must part
So bless the memories within your heart.

I won't be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near -
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All of my love around you soft and clear.

And then when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile, and "Welcome Home."

To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me

Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone
And I never see my old friend's face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well
As in the days when I rang his bell,
And he rang mine. We were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jim"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner!- yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir-" "Jim died today."
So remember...
If you love someone, tell them.
Remember always to say what you mean.
Never be afraid to express yourself.
Take this opportunity to tell someone
what they mean to you.
Seize the day and have no regrets.
Most importantly, stay close to your
friends and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today
and are what it's all about anyway.
Pass this along to your friends. Let
it make a difference in your day and
theirs. The difference between
expressing love and having regrets
is that the regrets may stay around forever.
