I read your obituary this morning. It said you passed, and something about eternal rest. I thought we agreed that when you were ready, You would summon me. I heard nothing, not a peep or a whisper. You are the third person this month. Of all three, you said, You would summon me. The other two left without fanfare They faded, like the morning fog on a warm spring morning. I expected more from you because You would surely summon me. When it’s time for me to leave, I will have few friends. I don’t intend to announce my exit. When the universe summons me.

Death Of A Friend
I read your obituary this morning. It said you passed, and something about eternal rest. I thought we agreed that when you were ready, You would summon me. I heard nothing, not a peep or a whisper. You are the third person this month. Of all three, you said, You would summon me. The other two left without fanfare They faded, like the morning fog on a warm spring morning. I expected more from you because You would surely summon me. When it’s time for me to leave, I will have few friends. I don’t intend to announce my exit. When the universe summons me.
