One Soul, One Love Everlasting!
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 21 secondsI once heard a beautiful Hasidic story about how God created humans. It said that each person is given one part of one soul in one body, and the rest is placed into another person’s body.
Only a very few are lucky to find their other half.
Finding your other half is rare, but Jan and I were lucky to have found the person with a portion of our soul. We will always appreciate having found each other because we know that living without a piece of you that helps you breathe is incredibly difficult.
This reminds me of something I read in The Zohar, I91a, which says,
A husband and wife are one soul, separated only through their descent to this world. When they are married, they are reunited again.
Our love differed from what many of our friends experienced; some couldn’t understand why it was so strong. But love never dies!
I yearn to awaken next to Jan and greet her with a tender kiss and warm embrace. If only one day we could awaken to her being free from cancer, I would be willing to overcome any obstacle and face any challenge.
One soul, one love, everlasting!
