Oh, so true, Angel. When we can't see an airplane because it flies high above the clouds, it still exists, but is only out of our reach.   I read this passage from a Mary Baker Eddy publication when I studied Christian Science, and it stayed with me:

"When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts. Oh, may you feel this touch,—it is not the clasping of hands, nor a loved person present; it is more than this: it is a spiritual idea that lights your path! The Psalmist saith: "He shall give His angels charge over thee." God gives you His spiritual ideas, and in turn, they give you daily supplies. Never ask for tomorrow: it is enough that divine Love is an ever-present help; and if you wait, never doubting, you will have all you need every moment. What a glorious inheritance is given to us through the understanding of omnipresent Love! More we cannot ask: more we do not want: more we cannot have. This sweet assurance is the "Peace, be still" to all human fears, to suffering of every sort."

When I signed on again tonight, I saw the "post your thoughts" etc. comment at the bottom. That must have been on the site from which I copied the passage. Sorry.   I googled a few words, since I remembered it, but not word for word. It's one of my favorite writings. Your loved one is not really gone, just in a place so high that we as humans can't see it (yet)

Sorry for your pain & grief.

Thanks Nancy
