December 17, 2009

How long will the pain last?" A broken hearted mourner asked me.
"All the rest of your life" I have to answer truthfully.
We never quite forget, no matter how many years pass, we remember.
The loss of a loved one is like a major operation. Part of us is removed,
and we have the scar the rest of our lives. as the years go by, we manage.
There are things to do ,and people to care for, tasks that call for our
full attention.
But the pain is still there, not far below the surface.
We see a face that looks familiar, hear a voice that echoes, see a
photograph in
someone's album, see a landscape we once saw together, and it seems as
though
a knife is in the wound again. But not so painfully. And mixed with joy
too.
Because remembering a happy time is not all sorrow, it brings back
happiness with it.
How long will the pain last?
All the rest of your life. But the things to remember is not only the pain
will last, but
the blessed memories as well.
Tears are proof of life.
The more love, the more tears.
If this be true, how could we ever ask that the pain cease altogether.
For then the memory of love would go with it.
The pain of grief is the price we pay for love.

December 17, 2009

Dearest Cheryl and Family,
I am so, so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. I know your faith is very strong and will pull you through this difficult time. My prayers and sympathy are with all of you at this time, and always.

Cheryl, Vic, immediate and extended family,

Our prayers are with you all. I can't even begin to imagine the pain you all are going through right now. I have a 20 year old and my heart is breaking just trying to put myself in your shoes.

We will miss seeing Trey on the soccer field, there will definitely be a void felt there. He was so much like Vic, quiet, but efficient!

Cheryl, Vic, our prayer is that the Lord will comfort you during this most difficult time. I know it is hard not to ask "why". Our children are supposed to bury us, not go before us. I pray your strength will come from knowing that Trey is in a better place, though it was not fair his life was cut way too short.

God Bless you all and if you need anything, each of you, please do not hesitate to call. We are here for you, our ears, our shoulder, whatever you need. We love you all!

I HAD TO GO AWAY

I had to go away.
I'm sorry you couldn't come with me.
But on earth is where you shall stay.
Please do not be sad.
Instead laugh and be glad.
I'm in a beautiful place, such a beautiful place.
I know you wont see me for a while.
But you will hear from me.
I will be the wind that will chill you on a hot summer day.
I will be the sun that will warm you when it's cold.
Listen to the birds sing, I will be saying, "I love you" in their song.
I know you can't touch me.
But you will feel me.
Because I will be inside of you giving you life on the days you feel like you can't go on anymore.
Please I beg of you, go on, live your life as I lived mine.
Always remember we will be together again.
I will be patiently waiting for you on that day.
When you will join me in this beautiful place.
Until then may God bless you with his almighty grace.
