Mankind doesn't determine who they will meet; in their lifetime.
It is a gift of the Lord for them to meet the people they do.
Jesus is always at the helm of bringing people together.
I feel the privilege of knowing Lyle was all mine from the Lord.
He arranged it so I would be able to meet him and his lifetime partner.
There is a camaraderie between the two of us that is long lasting.
Though Lyle has gone and left us his legacy of values I still count it a privilege of knowing him and being blessed by him.
The Lord has worked it out for us to have shared a part of our lives with the other.
There is a wholesomeness and continuity experienced for my still remembering him.
To me, he is not dead but away on a long journey.
We will meet sometime in the future again and be able to share our lives together.
This is how I am able to carry on without him to know and believe I will see him again.
