Cold Wind

Going beyond the veil for my brother will be a grand reunion. He will receive a full embrace with Mom and Dad. I can only comprehend a portion here in singing the words of this song my parents would sing to each other, Forever and Ever:

Forever and ever, my heart will be true
Sweetheart, for ever, I'll wait for you
We both made a promise that we'd never part
Let's seal it with a kiss forever, my sweetheart

Let bygones be bygones forever
We'll fall in love once again
So let's tell the world of our new love divine
For ever and ever you'll be mine

Then the power of these majestic words, I could hear silently between words of the dedicational prayer of his grave, as the cold wind whistled among the trees onto my face and through me:

10 Wherefore, brethren, seek not to counsel the Lord, but to take counsel from his hand. For behold, ye yourselves know that he counseleth in wisdom, and in justice, and in great mercy, over all his works. 

11 Wherefore, beloved brethren, be reconciled unto him through the atonement of Christ, his Only Begotten Son, and ye may obtain a resurrection, according to the power of the resurrection which is in Christ, and be presented as the first-fruits of Christ unto God, having faith, and obtained a good hope of glory in him-

12 And now, beloved, marvel not that I tell you these things; for why not speak of the atonement of Christ, and attain to a perfect knowledge of him, as to attain to the knowledge of a resurrection and the world to come-

(Book of Mormon, Jacob 4)
