Just want you to know you have not been forgotten and I hope you are okay. Saw this lovely poem and thought of you.
God's Garden
God strolled throughout His garden,
Filled with blossoms rare,
And now and then He picked one,
To send to earth to share.
He placed them with such gentleness,
Within their mother's womb,
And waited with a father's love,
To watch His flowers bloom.
He watched as sometimes still a seed,
His flowers washed away;
He cried when precious blossoms,
Were plucked before their day.
He saw some flowers left to grow,
Without their needed care;
He saw the tiny limbs reach out,
For love that was not there.
He saw when seeds were welcomed.
When they brightened someone's day;
And to some very lucky people,
God sent a whole bouquet.
And His blossoms grew and opened,
In color and in hue;
And God watched His earthly garden,
Spring with blossoms new.
But sometimes there was a flower,
That God just couldn't spare;
And so for just a little while,
He let it linger there.
And then He called the flower back,
So it would always be;
A splash of color in His home,
For all eternity.

You are not alone and hope you are ok. We are still praying for you and Brave Man. Jacob is away for now however the pain is great and unbearable for you. Take comfort in the fact you will be with him again. When I lost my mom at a young age it was unbearably hard. I thought of her as I do when others go on long trips. Hers is just a little longer but I look forward to our reunion some day. In the meantime Jacob is alway with you, only a breath away. We are praying for you.
