WAVING GOOD BYE I rode my bike to the church again today. Only today it wasn't for "church". It was to see someone off. A lady who was a member for quite awhile. She used to play the organ. She and her husband were missionaries, so they moved around a lot---every year or two. Toward the end of Margaret's life, she developed Alzheimer's. I'm not sure I got the spelling right, but... Her said, at the funeral, that the disease stole many things from Margaret. But there were a few things that not even Alzheimer's could steal. Her deep spirituality, her way of looking at the world as important and whole, her 's identities, and her love of music. He said that right up to the end, she was playing the piano for chapel in the nursing home. When she couldn't quite "get" what song they were about to sing, she'd tell them to just hum or sing a little of it. And off she'd go, playing the rest of the song on the piano. At her funeral, someone sang "I Can Only Imagine". The song that talks about when I come face to face with Jesus, living with Him for eternity, what will I do? Sing? Dance? Will I be unable to do anything but stare and worship for awhile? And I pictured Margaret there, with Her beloved Jesus, and the music she loved so much. And, of course, I thought of my . I hope no one saw the tear I wiped off my cheek. Hope he's having fun.
