Senor Leon

A few weeks ago, April 7, Senor Leon went to be with the Lord. Senor Leon was a precious, elderly man with numerous health issues that we had been visiting and taking care of for the past 8 months. He has family, but they did not take care of him and for a long time he lived alone, and depended on the kindness of neighbors and begging in the market to survive. We visited him every week, sometimes everyday during the week, and it was a privilege to be a part of his life. The day he died i found out he was in the hospital and I was able to visit with him. We had a good conversation, and when i left i said "hasta luego" (see you later) and he smiled and waved and also said "hasta luego". When i said that i had every expectation of seeing him the next day.... but he died later that night. Death is never easy, especially when it is someone that has been a big part of your life. But i am so thankful that i have the assurance that i will "see him later"!! when we said "hasta luego" it wasn't an empty promise. It is definitely sad for me now, my friend is no longer here.... but he is in a much better place, he is no longer suffering, and best of all he is with Jesus, with our Savior!! And because of Christ i will see him later!!
