Closure, again.  

7 November 2010

Two months ago, August 26th 2010, my father died, after a short period of being sick. Despite his intentions to live quite some more years, I believe that in the end he had a quite active role in his death, consciously deciding it had been enough, longing to join his Creator.
My father was a very religious person, in his own way, with a large output of writings that express his views on life and on death. What follows is part of a text he wrote last year, after my mother died. Originally conceived as her words from beyond, they are really my father's words, expressing his ultimate view of what comes after life. He died with that conviction, which went beyond mere blief, but was for him a certainty.

"I am at home now, detached from earthly time. Everything is a new experience. Real peace. I experience completion, after years with you. I have left all pain, imperfection, worries and failing behind me. The Eternal has made me perfect. How rare is happiness on Earth. The most exalted was being overwhelmed by the bland and imperfect. But here, there is permanent joy, like a coveting warmth with and through everyone here. Just like everyone else, I will get a task in this Kingdom, but it may not be revealed. I am allowed to give some advice from here: Belief in your faith, each in their own way and with their own capabilities. Experience your Creator, who finds your life valuable. Go in full trust towards the eternal beginning. Leave many traces of value, especially love. Know, that I will be waiting here for you when time is not time anymore."

I hope you found in heaven what you expected from it, dad. I love you.
