I saw this article in one of Jerry Orbos' famous books (Light Moments). I was enticed by the title which really made me read the whole article. Here it is:

Letting Go
I have said so many good byes in my lifetime. The greatest goodbye I fear is death. Death is the big letting go, and the big letting God. In spite of the pain of losing a loved one (or being apart from one), we must continue living and go on loving. We must accept that in the end, the people we hold dear belong to God more than to us.
An old Buddhist adage puts it beautifully: "In the end, only three things matter: how fully you lived, how deeply you loved, and how well you learned to let go of things not meant for you."
A Moment with the Lord
Lord, because of you, I can let go of those dearest to me and closest to my heart. Amen.
A Moment with the Word
"Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." Luke 23:46

I hope we easily learn to Let go and Let God. ;)
Lux in Domino!
