What is death?

I can't believe its been 3 months now that you were last with us.  Since your body left you I have thought about you often.  It all starts with a silly song for me that I probably would never have listened to on my own, but I was exposed to it and others in your last few days.  During the first month I could see your ailing face and the pain you endured.  After the second month it would conjure up thoughts of sadness for your parents.  By the third I thought of family times long past.

But now I don't know what I see.  The sadness lingers everpresent but I'm less aware of it.  I do wonder where you are now.

I have never believed in heaven - at least defined by most religions.  I certainly do not believe in a god described any religions I've been exposed to.  I want to believe that you are still with us but my logical and analytical brain can't wrap it around it.

I hope one day faith comes to me in a way that I can accept it.  I would like to see you again and everyone else that has left us.
