NATURAL

In the line of my work, I meet so many amazing and wonderful people. Now and then, I meet up with a kindred spirit. Typically the connection is instant. Somehow we understand each other on a deeper level.

I had a sudden connection with this particular patient. Fortunately, I have been able to visit her quite often this past year. We have talked frequently about being kindred spirits. In addition, her family history and mine have crossed paths. I believe we were meant to meet in this life.


NATURAL

Each time we meet up,
it feels so right; so natural.
It was that way from the start;
an instantaneous connection.

She is my hero.
Her love of life; of people; of each day.
She'll laugh so easily and tease one moment;
the next; say how she has been so lucky in life.

She wishes we had met years ago.
We both would like more time to be together,
but she is slowly declining
wondering why she is still here.

Our history has crossed before;
her ancestors and mine.
Connected to one small town up north;
several generations past.

She is thirty years my senior,
but we are kindred spirits.
We were meant to meet in this life.
Our paths were meant to cross.

It is so comfortable being with her.
We understand and connect so strongly to each other.
Our spirits have united before; and will again.
It is the natural order of things.
