Peace My Heart

I received news today that I have been dreading to hear for the past couple of weeks. My old roommate from college lost her father this morning after a quick battle with pneumonia. Mr. Leo McNally was a man of few words but when he spoke, he made big statements. He was the biggest fan the Los Angeles Lakers, or any team for that matter, has ever seen. His kindness and values are evident in the children he produced and the woman he called his wife. And now the Lord has called him home to watch over those he loves. You will be sorely missed Mr. Leo McNally!


Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.
Let it not be a death but completeness.
Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.
Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.
Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way.

~Rabindranath Tagore
