Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

My Dearest Uncle Nathan,

I think of you often, Sad that you are no longer here. When the sadness overwhelms me, I get on my knees and pray. I have the understanding and the faith that you are in heaven, however my earthly self cannot help but be sad and some times even bitter. So I ask that you pray for me and my strength in the Lord. And when I lean on my own understanding of your unfortunate passing that you remind me to lean on God for he is the only understanding that...

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Uncle Nathan, Although it's hard to believe that you have gone away, With God eternally your there to stay. I know in my heart that your in a place were there is no sorrow nor pain. In my heart you will always remain. I love you..

Uncle Nathan,
Some say that your in a better place now but, it's hard to understand when you were taken away from us unexpectedly. Maybe I am selfish when I say I want my uncle back. So many people are hurting over the lost of you because we all love you so very much. Your beautiful smile will never be forgotten. Oh how I miss you. Can't believe your gone. But now I know your are protecting the family.
I love and miss you Uncle Nathan.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...
