Three fingers of the whiskey...

For dear Nightbirde. I hope and pray she is dancing and singing in heaven.

Three fingers of the whiskey...

I had a bad night. I read dear Nightbirde/ Jane Marczewski left our world on 20 Feb. I fell in love with this beautiful young lady. Her songs, her words gave me the understanding. Life is more than me. She had the face of a angel, her eyes were filled with love and kindness. She loved life, she loved God. I burned sage and I prayed for her often. Tonight I bought a bottle of Hooligan whiskey and I told God. Why did dear Jane suffer? I pour three shots of the whiskey into my shot glasses.

I lifted the first shot to sky and I told the night. Please lord of life and death. Please accept dear Jane into heaven. I am glad her pain is gone and she left my world a better place. I drank the whiskey..

I lifted the second shot of the whiskey and I asked God. Why do the good people suffer? I don’t understand. Maybe the old saying is true. The good die young. I drank the whiskey.

I lifted the third shot of the whiskey and I told the night. Dear Jane, dear Nightbirde. I know a angel in heaven now. I hope one day to sit with you. I would tell you. The world is less without you.

Had been a hard two year. I lost many to cancer and my world is more empty without the voices of the kind people I knew and I loved.

Tonight dear Jane, dear Nightbirde. I burned the sage and I watched the smoke rise-up to the moon. I tell the stars and the moon. I hope you are singing for your Jesus. I do miss you.

There are some who bring a light so great to the world, that even after they have gone, the light remains.
Many blessings to you, John!

Don't know the lady in question. But to have known and lost such a one... The hole can never be filled. Make your life her greatest memorial. Well written.

I have lost 4 people to cancer in my family, it was so sad to see them suffer.
Very touching, heart breaking read.

Thank you, dear friend. The young singer Nightbirde fought the cancer for four years. She left the world better than she received it.
