Our Friend Harrison

In May a dear friend of ours lost his battle with cancer.  He was only 59 years old. For many years he and his wife Kim were our next-door neighbors.  We were so close that we even cut an opening in our fence and put in a gate! We shared life together.  I still find it amusing that my conservative, play-it-safe husband had such a kinship with Harrison.  Harrison was a free spirit, an amazing artist and a lover of life.  A couple years ago Kim and Harrison moved out of town and we rarely saw each other.  Life has a way of taking over without even realizing it!  In April, when we found out he had cancer we immediately went up to see them.  He was already bed-bound, but smiling and upbeat.  That's quintessential Harrison.  He never had a bad day.  We talked.  We prayed.  I was so happy to find out that Harrison had accepted Jesus into his life a couple years prior and was beginning to find the peace that comes only to those who walk with the Lord.  I believe it was most evident in his final weeks.

A couple weeks ago, Kim was interviewed by a gentleman who started the Inspired Emotion website and movement.  He was inspired by Harrison's joy-filled life, no matter the circumstances, and wanted others to hear about it too. Check out this video and be inspired!
