it's been a hard day. yesterday was hard - thinking about today.
i know other people talk about how hard this day is but i was not anticipating it.
i am reminded of the lifetime of memories i won't have.
last year i was excited, happy, and not yet feeling sick.
i've been forced to say good bye to that woman who was just one short year ago. i know love at a new depth and wince at the innocence that was ripped from me.
especially on nights like tonight.
"be near me Lord Jesus I ask thee to stay
close by me forever and love me I pray
bless all the dear children in thy tender care
and fit us for Heaven to live with thee there"
I am thinking about you, Melissa, and praying for you. I look back at myself one year ago and get mad at how naive I was. The innocense is gone but we can see clearly just what a miracle every life is. Love you!
ReplyDeleteto "love at a new depth..."
ReplyDeleteI'm clinging to that.
Big hugs and prayers for you!
Just saw an awesome deal on a cruise that left from NOLA... wishing I had money to get there, scoop you up, and cruise off to the Caribbean with you.
ReplyDeleteI missed this one somehow... I can only imagine... love you
