Releasing the Silver Cord I have never received such blessing as this before
when seeing a loved one at Your opened door after You have shown such goodness and mercy toward him and his loving caring family When reading to him from Psalm 23 I knew he enjoyed it through his smiling at me Ecclesiastes 12 was the last one I read his appreciation of this could not be mislead He absorbed every word of the scripture I read listening carefully at times by raising his head and this I would carry with me in my heart as this gave me a glimpse into his brand new start When I noticed his eyes with the closing curtain I took his hand and rubbed his arm, as I was certain that the time has come for the silver cord to be released and I wanted to be there when his time has ceased His hands and feet has become icy cold yet I never released his hand from my loving hold as his tender red lips turned beautiful and white again I witnessed as the Spirit returned to You again I would never forget his love for his wife as this is something for all men to strive he was always a gentleman when opening the door from the days in Mt Ayliff up to those at the shore The last four days were a blessing in deed when witnessing my grandad following Your lead leaving this wicked world through the shadows of death restoring his wretched soul with his last breath For this great gift I have gratitude towards You allowing me to witness to grandad for You You gave us a miracle - I love You my Lord having all around grandad when releasing his silver cord by Mieke Rewitzky
