A Love that Transcends
* below is an excerpt from my friend's blog. I cried a lot while reading this and I want to share to you a story of love. To follow Katrina and Sam's unconventional love story click HERE.
Much Love,
Katrina Ann
Today, I mourn the death of my first love. He said, I was God sent to him to make it easier for him to fight his battle and to surrender unto His will. We could have built a family together. He left me here on Earth, wondering what to do next. But I remembered, he promised to wait for me. Like Abu said, life is too short no matter how long we live; we’ll see each other soon. Love is not measured how frequent you see each other in person, not by how many kisses and hugs you exchange, not how compatible you are in bed but how you inspire each other to become a better person. Love is despite and in spite of all things. Love is what remains when you have exhausted all the excuses/ reasons not to be together and still choose to be in that same position that you are with him/her.
Too many promises, sweet words and declaration of love were exchanged. I told him to write a book about his life to inspire people. He told me that to inspire people; you have to start one at a time. It is not an overnight agenda. He indeed started with me. And I am sharing you this because I wanted to inspire the next person who will find his story moving.
IN MEMORY OF MY SAM MCDEER (1980-2009).
WHO WAS A PRODIGAL SON, WHO CAME BACK HOME TO HIS FATHER’S EMBRACE.
