Dear Vicky,
I didn't know until today...April 22<br />Dear Vicky,<br />I didn't know until today that your sweet Mama passed away. I read this post and then went back to the post before and read it with tear-filled eyes. My heart is broken for you and your family. I am so sorry, Vicky. I also cry because I feel the pain through this post as to how much your tiny shoulders have had to bear in the past few months. I want to take some of that weight from you, but I am not strong enough nor do I have the ability. But, I know the One who can and will. I'm praying to our Father Who is in Heaven to comfort you and to lift you. <br />I am as so very sorry that I didn't know about your Mama. I am suffering through health issues of my own right now, but I assure you that I will continue to lift you up, Vicky. I promise you that. <br />I send my love to you. And I take comfort in knowing that your Daddy was there to put his arms around your Mama as she entered those Gates of Pearl. <br />A kiss for them both......Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-47798026137416770682015-04-21T04:38:52.074-05:002015-04-21T04:38:52.074-05:00You know I am not a woman of few words. But all I ...You know I am not a woman of few words. But all I could utter for you last week was love. Your pain was/is vast. Your face bespoke it all and its depth is profound. I am lying in bed right now wakeful in the night and thinking of it, and you. Prayers are being sent for so many needs in your life. Grief is a grueling trudge when experienced under the more usual circumstances of life and your circumstances are very far outside that definition. May our knowing and loving God send His angels to help you carry this load and may He send light to shine through even the tiniest cracks of hope and relief and healing. <br /><br />You are an incredible daughter who, without doubt, brought your mom and dad bountiful joy and love keenly expressed and played out in so many different ways. The depth of grief you feel is an abiding testimony to who you are and who they were in this life. <br /><br />Robynn's Ravingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619286823020924023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-71350483000732218072015-04-20T19:06:28.098-05:002015-04-20T19:06:28.098-05:00 Though the voice is silent, the spirit echos stil...
