Creepy, but true. Another great writing assignment! Phoebe,I probably digress from Abraham’s post. “Last words” reminded me of the fresh grief a few dear friends are experiencing. The imminence of death keeps us anchored to Christ, our Life, and ready to go! On one hand we can laugh at death (Oh death where is your sting?)_ On the other hand...Death IS a curse.... Though last words can bring some amount of closure, even those don’t go far enough to satisfy the grief of loved ones left behind. PS I love your name! Our daughter, Tabitha, was almost Phoebe!
