“What is hardest to accept about the passage of time is that the people who once mattered the most to us wind up in parentheses.”
— John Irving, “The Cider House Rules”
Yes, they are gone now, dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Something of value was lost that can never be replaced. How many actors on this stage of life have played in parts along side of me or you? Now they are gone and even their memory is getting clouded. Where does this repeated event in our lives come from? The answer is only found in Scripture.
For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; so turn, and live.”
And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,
The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
The reality is that because of sin all die. Give it some careful consideration.
