Ty, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. During your time of mourning, just reflect on all the great times you shared with him. I will always remember when I called for you and he yelled “Ty, your Sister on the phone.” He was a loving and giving man and you are truly blessed to have had him for a father. If there is anything you may need, please do not hesitate to call me. I’m here for you twenty-four seven.

Matthew 11:25-30
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

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.
