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 heart goes out to the both of you. I know what you all are going through because I know how it feels to lose your mother. The only thing that will get you through is your trust and faith in God. Just remember that Ms. Val is in a better place with no more worries or pain. I am here for the both of you, if ever you need anything. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
