Here today gone tomorrow
Life is but a moment
Living but a memory
Bringing joy where ever you go
Leaving behind a lasting glow
We will miss you
But, we know that its time
For you to go home
We will see you one day
Free of sorrow
Free of pain
How hard it is
To let you go
But, we know
You will be safe
In the arms of our Creator
No longer is that ever ready smile
Made to brighten a persons day here
Only a lasting glow
Of memories treasured
In our hearts
Forever
This morning my family got some very sad news. We are all still trying to process it right now.
As I wrote in a past blog post that we went down to Samaria, to see some friends who were with the Waller group picking grapes. We hadn’t seen them in around 2 years, and the wife of the family was dealing with breast cancer.
We’ve known their family since I was around 11 or 12. Their son and daughter were good friends to my brother and I, their whole family was like a second family to us. The wife was a second mom to me, and her 4 children like extended siblings, her husband was like an uncle.
So when we went down we knew it might be the last time we saw her. Little did we know how true that was. We got an email this morning saying that she died yesterday.
It hasn’t totally hit us yet, I‘m still coming to terms that she’s actually gone. She was always a strong woman. Always so happy and willing to look at the bright side. I’m glad she is in no more pain now. But, its still hard, I know its harder for her family.
I can’t believe she’s gone!
Father Yah: I pray that you would help us all as we grieve her death, and that you would be especially with her family.
