I guess I have to say that I do and I
don’t understand why Jesus called you home
but my son if you can hear me now
please know that I miss you so.

Your heart was so loving and your soul
even more so, how could my Lord
not wish to hold you close and ease your pain,
especially when it was internally directed.

The shelter of your strong arms never seemed
weak or weary but I see now that your strength
and protection that we all counted on was
really quite a load to bear, still my son
I cannot help but tell you
how I miss you so.

This is the longest you have ever been
gone, my precious, and I cannot hide
my sorrow at your leaving;
my heart is ripped open and grieving.

Not yet can I express joy at your going home
but incrementally my Lord is instilling
a tranquility when I can picture you
at peace in His presence, no more pain,
no deadlines to meet, and no more work
to be done, but oh my son
how I miss you so.

Oh and I just thought that you would want to know
that your dad and I are taking turns mustering up
the energy of being designated the monster…
right now I can’t even tell you how we manage
to make the little ones squeal and run,
amidst the laughter we all know that no one
will never be as good a “monster” as you,
and my son
you just have to know
I miss you so...

This one brings tears... and then I smile through those tears as you and your husband make the little ones laugh... keeping the weight of this grief from their tiny shoulders and their missing from being so intense.

What a beautiful picture, this thought.
I'm so glad He is allowing you to let
loose with your heart, here...

and that He still has one who is living
on in her faith...

Sweetie~
This one disolved me completely into tears~
For I know the 'missing' ... the void that we try so hard to fill, knowing it won't ever be done~

I hold you in prayerful thought as your faith sustains you~

Dear Jellybeans,
The loss of your son,draws you closer to your Gods love.Talking,tears,laughter,song,dance,    
speaking in ones Holy Language are but a few avenues of Gods healing.I am glad you have shared this with others,for you are being healed within. Keep on sharing your heart with others,add the ingredient of time,and God will see you through this loss.For the Holy Spirit draws you close each moment of each day, to gather you to His bosom,and surround you with His loving arms.   In His love,    lampwicke xxx
