I was on the most spectacular Flight of Love with my Joshie Pie that lasted almost 23 years.
It was an extraordinary flight that took us to many “one-of-a-kind” destinations and unique places of enjoyment in our hearts and lives. We experienced many kinds of emotions and memories during our flight. Sometimes we experienced turbulence, but it always leveled out to smooth love again. Sometimes our flight got off track a little bit, but found its correct path again. There were a few rare times we had to briefly wear oxygen masks to help us through thick times, but our love always found its way back to normal breathing again.
With each landing…we both got off to beautifully and adventurously explore the journey of our destinations in life together. We had so much fun sharing all the wonderful destinations together.
One day, without any kind of notice, Josh and I were put on separate flights to completely different destinations that would never again allow us to fly together while here on this earth. As a mom, I did everything I could to get him back on the flight with me. But I didn’t get to succeed.
Josh wasn’t ready to take that different flight, but he wasn’t given a choice. The flight he was forced to take though was the most illuminating flight that majestically transcended him into the most angelic destination called Heaven, where he is gloriously living forever with our King Jesus, and his beautiful sister Gracie Renee (whom we lost at three months pregnant).
And sadly, I have to fly solo from now on until my flight receives the golden ticket. I’ll forever look through our life’s journey & destinations memory album. And I’ll always have his empty seat next to mine; always wanting to turn and talk to him.
