A friend said the long goodbye to her grandmother by birth but mother by choice.
Seven days ago…
I wondered how long I would have before I too would be saying my long goodbye. 87 years is more than many of us will see and yet, mom is there in all its worn and tarnished glory.
Seven days ago…
I pondered who would be at my bedside when my time came especially if it came late. Having no children leaves an empty space in so many places.
Still and yet…
Seven days ago…
I saw a family rejoice in confidence that one they loved so dearly was whole and made perfect.
Seven days ago…
I gave my thanks for the one who gave birth and life to me.
Seven days ago…
I realized no matter what my circumstance - I am never alone.
What were you doing seven days ago?

ReplyDeletelove this post my precious friend - aren't you so thankful that we will NEVER be alone when we have our precious Lord!
Seven days ago we mourned the loss of my grandmother but rejoiced that her suffering was over and her joy was complete...
ReplyDeleteSeven days ago we were lifted up by a tender and merciful God...
Seven days ago we were supported, carried, and loved on by people to whom the simple word "friend" is an overwhelming understatement...
While the epic truth to embrace is that we are never alone with God, I promise you my dearest friend that if i have breath, I will be His hands by your side.
Seven days ago I was celebrating spring break with my hubby and both of our sons...we love it when we're all together!
