BROKEN HEART

It was great to have visitors last night. Grandma, Dad, Mom, and Whitney came up for a visit. I forced them into the woods for a short hike where they were attacked by millions of mosquitoes. We returned back home for some delicious watermelon, and conversation. It was fun to have them here! Anyone else who wants to stop by.....we would love it.

Today I attended a funeral for one of my good friends little girl- Lillian Orr. She was two years old and was hit by a car. It was truly sad. Dr. Reynolds gave such an amazing talk. It broke my heart to sit and listen to the words that were spoken. I learned a lot from this tragic experience. Sometimes I wonder why things like this happen to such great people. Why are children at such a young age taken from their parents? They read this peom at the funeral and I liked the message. Live life to it's fullest because you never know when one of us will return back home.

My Dearest Family

Some things I'd like to say but first of all to let you know
that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from Heaven
where I dwell with God above where there's no more tears or sadness
there is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you
when my life on Earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me
and He said I welcome you. It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone, as for your dearest family
they'll be here later on. I need you here so badly
as part of My big plan, there's so much that we have to do
to help our mortal man. Then God gave me a list of things
He wished for me to do, and foremost on that list of mine
is to watch and care for you. And I will be beside you
every day and week and year, and when you're sad,
I'm standing there to wipe away the tear.
And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth and all those loving years,
because you're only human they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain,
remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you of all that God has planned,
but if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is o'er.
I am closer to you now than I ever was before.
And to my very many friends, trust God knows what is best.
I'm still not far away from you, I'm just beyond the crest.
There are rocky roads ahead of you, and many hills to climb,
but together we can do it taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too
that as you give unto the World so the World will give to you.
If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain,
then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that my life it was worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is down and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up as on your way you go.
When you are walking down the street
and you've got me on your mind, I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind. And when you feel the gentle breeze
or the wind upon your face, that's me giving you a great big hug
or just a soft embrace. And when it's time for you to go
from that body to be free, remember you're not going
you are coming here to me, And I will always love you
from that land way up above. Will be in touch again soon.
p.s. God sends his love.
