My best friend in high school Mike, would have celebrated his 36th birthday today. He passed away at the age of 30 due to a stroke. I had lost contact with him sometime in college, and was trying to find his whereabouts when I sadly came across a military article about him, announcing his death. My world was shaken that day as I sat at my coffee table in disbelief I had lost someone that once had been so dear to me. Since then I have reconnected with some of his family; it's bittersweet.
Mike was never fond of religion or anything faith based but I can only hope that as he lay in that locked in state for the month before passing, that the Lord spoke to him and revealed Himself to Mike. It has grieved my heart not knowing his fate, but not too long ago I had a dream about Mike and in it he told me, "Don't worry Lisa, I went to heaven." I woke up so moved by that dream, told Stephen about it and we both concluded that maybe the Lord was speaking to me through that dream. I can only hope so.
I wish Mike were here for me to say Happy Birthday!
