I understand. I lost my son, my only child, my best buddy, my everything. I want to thank you for your writings. They helped me to understand. I believe the happiness comes when an even reminds me of something we or he did when he was alive. His classmate made a rest in peace page on FB in Jims memory. As you may know it is nice to visit the memory pages and see the photos. I am glad you too had a wonderful relationship with your daughter Sarah. I think we were both very fortunate to have experienced such a beautiful time with our children. <BR/><BR/>nancy m <BR/>uneditedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662343.post-59676981657774415342008-09-27T13:39:00.000-04:002008-09-27T13:39:00.000-04:00I saw your story in the paper today and I was comp...I saw your story in the paper today and I was compelled to write this for your daughter.<BR/><BR/>By the Granite Coast (for Bella Sarah)<BR/><BR/>By the granite coast she stood.<BR/>Her love at her side, watching the swells<BR/>Gazing toward a city rising<BR/>Above the sea, salty sweet in the air.<BR/><BR/>By the granite coast she stood.<BR/>A life to live, days to love<BR/>Lay ahead in the great expanse of time<BR/>Not yet realized, salty sweet in the air.<BR/><BR/>By the granite coast she stood.<BR/>Bella Sarah smiling, radiant under sun<BR/>Deep brown hair shimmering<BR/>Tangled by the wind, salty sweet in the air.<BR/><BR/>By the granite coast she stood.<BR/>A beautiful life captured, carried off with the wind <BR/>Stricken townspeople left to console<BR/>All crying ‘Corragio’, salty sweet in the air.<BR/><BR/>By the granite coast she stays.<BR/>Her soul at rest, with God by her side<BR/>Bella Sarah’s laugh still echoes<BR/>In the crashing waves, salty sweet in the air.obewan the youngerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14613613426598898160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662343.post-22447076287329508172008-09-26T11:10:00.000-04:002008-09-26T11:10:00.000-04:00Parable of Immortality ( A ship leaves . . . )by H...Parable of Immortality <BR/>( A ship leaves . . . )<BR/>by Henry Van Dyke<BR/><BR/>I am standing by the seashore.<BR/>A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze<BR/>and starts for the blue ocean.<BR/>She is an object of beauty and strength,<BR/>and I stand and watch<BR/>until at last she hangs like a peck of white cloud<BR/>just where the sun and sky come down to mingle with each other. <BR/><BR/>Then someone at my side says, ‘There she goes!<BR/>Gone where? Gone from my sight - that is all. <BR/><BR/>She is just as large in mast and hull and spar<BR/>as she was when she left my side<BR/>and just as able to bear her load of living freight<BR/>to the places of destination.<BR/>Her diminished size is in me, not in her. <BR/><BR/>And just at the moment when someone at my side says,<BR/>‘There she goes! ‘ ,<BR/>there are other eyes watching her coming,<BR/>and other voices ready to take up the glad shout :<BR/>‘Here she comes!’<BR/><BR/>I am grateful that Sarah had so many wonderful people on the "other side" greet her with a glad shout. And I know, she will be there excitedly saying "Here she comes!" for you, my dear sister. Until then... I am grateful that you are here with me... and having chosen life! I think Sarah is too... for her time now is not like our time. She in her fullness... us still broken and in pain... clinging to our redemptive God, who amazingly in all of this, brings goodness.<BR/><BR/>I love you more than words can ever say!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662343.post-46720230164155622952008-09-26T10:41:00.000-04:002008-09-26T10:41:00.000-04:00I have no words to express how I feel, but I love ...I have no words to express how I feel, but I love you and appreciate your willingness to allow us the priviledge of seeing your heart toward our loving Father and your beautiful daughter and your world.
