Reflecting upon the movie Shadowlands, the words of C.S. Lewis...In a strange way, I see now how the suffering of all of us who mourn the loss of our PapAmore, Arend 'Odee' Lenderink, is a part of the blessing.
I imagine that not many are "blessed" enough to feel this kind of anguish...not everyone has been able to experience this great amount of love on earth.
The degree to which our hearts currently shatter is a direct result of the enormous amount of love they held for and were given by this sacred man we knew.
I wouldn't give up all of my pain of today for even one yesterday without him.
It's all worth it to have had him at all.
