Letting Go

Funeral for my best friend

Born again sometime in 2021

Died 6/4/2022 (nearly one year later)

First of all, we (every part of me) release you with love and well wishes – we want the very best for you going forth into your next venture.

We would like to say thank you for all you gave, for all you did, for all you said and for being present to so very much of the past year. It was a glorious ride. You stood by me as I loved my family, loved my job, retired from my job and as I grieved the loss of my brother-in-law, and sister. You were there, all of you, lovingly, protectively, and tenderly. Thank you. I am greatly saddened by the abrupt ending however that doesn’t change my love for you. You will always be a treasured part of that piece of my history.

The yard thanks you, the birds thank you, my family thanks you and most of all, I thank you. I wish I had more to give you to take with you on your journey forward. My love and my lessons and our discussions will have to suffice. I gave myself; I am happy that I did. I have no regrets. I said I was willing to risk being hurt again for the adventure of loving you again. I only long for a peaceful, respectful ending but that is my dream. Like I am not able to give you what you need, I’ll not ask more of you than you are able to provide. I am content with what is.

As I cut the ties that bind us, I set us both free to follow our calling. You are called to love a woman who will open all of herself to you, her home, her time, her resources, her family, and her heart in exchange for all you can give her, your knowledge, your time and attention, your assistance, and your devotion. It is a beautiful dream; I believe in your ability to make that happen and to live that dream. I once shared a similar dream. That time is over.

I now am called to step into another world, a world that is transitioning from the kind of world you seek to a new world of inclusion, cooperation, a heart centered world where a larger group of people serve one another, not just two. I am called away from this comfortable, familiar lifestyle to be a pioneer of light bearers diving into the magical mysteries of miracles. There is no room for you in my new world, nor any longer room in your world for me. We want different things and that is okay. It’s time to say good-bye.

I hope we meet again in our next life; I think we will. There is a familiar about us that will live on in each of us. Until we meet again, I wish you every happiness you can find. Goodbye my precious friend, goodbye. I will always love you and what we had and what we shared.

Love,

Dorothy Isabel Mathis
