Dearest Friends.

On August 19th I lost a dear Friend that I called my Earth Mom. Her name is Dorothy Clark McClure.

I called her that because I did have my own Mom whom I love and I was lucky enough to meet another in my lifetime too.

I met Dorothy at one of her many art classes and she was talking about her many trips to Indiana to Camp Chesterfield a wonderful Spiritualist Retreat and after the class I said to her “well when can we go together”. I think I shocked both of us by saying that but a few months later I was picking her up in my brand new green convertible suzicki sidekick heading down to Indiana. She said to me “I wasn’t sure if you were going to be a nut or what? but she  took a chance on me and I was the lucky one.

That was many years ago and since then we formed quite the bond. Dorothy was an amazing woman. Famous Artist, friend, mother to her wonderful children, wife, grandmother, mentor, teacher, you name it. The one thing I loved most about Dorothy was she was soooo deep! We could talk about anything. She probably had one of the most spiritual minds I have ever had the pleasure of listening to in this lifetime.  She was comfortable with any subject. The art she did was beyond this world.

When I moved out here to Oshawa I kind of didn’t get to see her as much as I should have and I realized that it was truly my loss. I should have made time. Now except for talking in spirit I really can’t ever be privy to this amazing woman. Now I will have to wait until I pass to talk to her.

I am truly going to miss this dear friend of mine who I love so very much.

I was strong at the funeral until the wonderful lady with the harp sang the song that we played at my Mother’s funeral “We will remember you.” That sent me over the edge at the loss and regret of not seeing her more.

The Minister said at her funeral “God Thank you for Giving us Dorothy” and I can’t think of any better words to describe how I’m feeling. Great thanks to the big guy above for giving me the chance to be in her life.

I guess I am wearing my heart on my sleeve here so that if there are any of you reading this that have someone in their life that they love and they don’t make time for them please cancel whatever silly thing you are doing that feels important and give them a call. You will thank me for it.

God Bless you my dear Friend I will never forgot you ever.Thank you for teaching me all you taught me and for being the wonderful blessed you.

Quote for you:

“Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I’ll miss you
Until we meet again!”
