I am unclear how to get through today. Actually, I am unclear on how to get through almost everyday, but somehow have managed. I guess I will assume today will be no different.
I also want to let Christine, Leslie and Kelly K know how their words touched me so deeply. They were a gift from God and exactly what I needed! You have done what any fearless soldier would do and that is STAND STRONG! Thank you for lifting my spirits and lifting my faith!
I love you Kel! And you Miss Robynn...I'm so jealous you get to have her all to yourself!
Pray On!

Shelley - you're awesome!
When my mom passed away, these quotes were written in the sympathy cards I received. I saved them because one describes perfectly the grief we feel when we lose someone we love, and the other is a beautiful way of remembering what we have to look forward to.
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell. ~Edna St. Vincent Millay
Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will. ~Author Unknown

The day ended with heavy showers, and the plants in my garden were beaten down by the pelting storm. I looked at one plant I had previously admired for its beauty and had loved for its delicate fragrance. After being exposed to the merciless storm, its flowers had dropped, all its petals were closed, and it appeared that its glory was gone. I thought to myself, "I suppose I will have to wait till next year to see those beautiful flowers again."
Yet the night passed, the sun shone again, and the morning brought strength to my favorite plant. The light looked at its flowers and the flowers looked at the light. There was contact and communion, and power passed into the flowers. They lifted their heads, opened their petals, regained their glory, and seemed more beautiful than before. I wondered how this took place - these feeble flowers coming into contact with something much stronger, and gaining strength!

The "tensions" in life are so amazing... Our life is described as a vapor, not even a blip on the radar of eternity, yet it seems so long and never-ending to those who are suffering. I'm praying for all of you who are feeling overwhelmed by the impact of the anniversaries, as the days and minutes seem to expand to allow more time with your grief, that the Lord will have mercy... that this thing we call "life" which is always bittersweet, will bring you EXTRA sweet awareness and thankfulness for the Lord's goodness to you in spite of the great sufferings which He has allowed. God bless you all!
