Confessions of dark thoughts are me silently crying out for help after losing my wife.  I keep it real to show how real it can get in [email protected]

My wife has passed.  Please forgive me for not posting for several days.  I am sure you can understand.  The better half of myself has left me.  She was promoted to heaven.My wife, my ultimate love for 26 years, and friend for 43 years have passed away this week.  Debra Ann Burton, over many years you have shown me the true meaning of love and the ultimate sacrifice that one will make in the name of love.  I am saddened beyond belief and at times it feels like I am suffocating.  I was afraid to admit she has passed out loud out of fear that would somehow make it more real than it already is.  I have lost the best part of myself because she represented everything good in my life.  In essence, Debra saved my life more than anyone will ever know. Dear Lord, I know Debra is at peace, I know she is in no more pain, with no poking and prodding by doctors and nurses.  Lord, I thank you for blessing me with such a love that meant more than I could have ever imagined.  Debra was a strong woman even as she was spreading her wings to fly into your loving arms.  She embraced life with a fight as I have never seen before.Debra will always love you.  I still wake up to visit you and you’re no longer here.  Out of selfishness I still wish you were here fighting.  But my incredible love for you understands you will rest and have peace.  So farewell my love, now you can truly rest.  When my assignment is finished here on earth I will join you so we both can be at peace together.  I love you. R.I.P.  You will always be in my heart.   https://www.restlandfuneralhome.com/.../Debra-Burton-3/...https://www.facebook.com/poetry.flavor/

I have a question.  Do you have a gift or talent?  If so, what do you do with it?  Proverbs 18:16 16 A man’s gift maketh room for him and bringeth him before great men.1st Peter 4:10  10 As every man hath received the gift, even so, administer the same one to another, as good be stewards of the manifold grace of God.Matthew 25:14–30.)We are also told in the scriptures that we will be judged according to our works (see Matthew 16:27). By developing and using our talents for other people, we perform good works. I believe we all have a talent to share.  Share yours with the world.
