This musing comes on a special day. Our daughter’s birthday. She would have become 59 years old had she lived past 40. Musing is what I’ve been doing working up to this day. Time is so strange. It either flies by or stops still, holding you in a place you really don’t want to be.
Yet I feel so blessed. To have known that infant and the grownup CNA, who dearly loved taking care of people. Those blue eyes sparkled when she was excited. Remember how I move through my days set to music? The song for today is Willie Nelson’s “Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain”. Also his song “It’s Not Something You Get Over, It’s Just Something You Go Through”.
So please don’t feel sad for me today. We were so privileged to know and love her as many people did, and still do. So many people have lost grown children and it’s a really hard thing to do. The lost potential. But God loves her and us and we will meet again, I’m sure of it. What a reunion that will be!
“Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. Despise not one of these little ones: for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in Heaven.” Matthew 18:4
