In some ways I've always been grateful that my brother's death was so sudden and unexpected -- I can't imagine what it would have been like to watch him go through a prolonged illness. I hope he and Maria have crossed paths by now. Maybe he's showing her around up there. :)Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12925617415086523147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8892190.post-8641138032855409792010-07-27T20:43:58.644-05:002010-07-27T20:43:58.644-05:00That is a beautiful poem, Dear.

I woke up with such a sore throat today. Could it be because I cried my way thru..."Skylark", the sequel to 'Sarah, Plain and Tall'? Have you watched this Saija? I loved this series so much...I'm loving the little boy Caleb in his part, the whole movie is a beautiful thing. My hubby and son urged me to buy the dvds...I had been bidding on VHS tapes, so a few days later, I have the brand new dvds. If I was here by myself, I'd watch them all....grin. Maybe even in one day...*hugs*Maggie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991999931680942893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8892190.post-82933392454161887812010-07-26T22:53:40.986-05:002010-07-26T22:53:40.986-05:00Dear Saija, I understand how it feels.

May God stay close to you and hold your hand.<br /><br />I loved this poem so much.<br /><br />Maybe one of these days I will quote it on my blog.<br /><br />It is so beautiful.<br /><br />I love your heart. Thank you for sharing so gently, so tenderly.<br /><br />Much love, Saija...<br />LidjCrown of Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993686012020045284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8892190.post-29601963570170450912010-07-26T13:28:49.890-05:002010-07-26T13:28:49.890-05:00Dear Saija,

I knew from his four years in wheel chair, that he longed to come home, to heaven. I said, "Say hello to Jesus", as he went.<br />Even so I miss him, and the hurting hasn't stopped, yet.<br />I know he is where he wants to be. It's just; he meant the world to me, and I still wake up in the night, trying to help him,in my dreams.<br />Grieving takes time.<br />Rejoicing is also a part of it.<br />We sang, "He the pearly gate shall open" in his funeral, and it felt so right.<br /><br />Maria will always remain a part of your life, and also a victorious ending.<br />From FelisolFelisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8892190.post-13544501607257965232010-07-25T21:50:14.695-05:002010-07-25T21:50:14.695-05:00What a blessing to know that Maria isn't poor ...What a blessing to know that Maria isn't poor little Maria anymore - she is richer that any of us!Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289456727508305342noreply@blogger.com
