Ames sent me an email with a link to a blog this morning..... I heisted this right off the blog... it is just the verbage I needed to READ and meditate on today.
Tomorrow Bear will be gone 5 years--it was a gorgeous day. It is raining today---long anticipated rain. I hope it rains all day tomorrow. I'm missing Sisty so much lately. I guess I didn't realize the comfort I had in just knowing that I could pick up the phone and hear her voice. I miss her warm, encouraging voice. The last one that knew everything. David doesn't know me. Eddie didn't know me. Tommy doesn't count--too bad on that count. Lena is so old, weary and tired...it is just different.
Eddie's departure has had very little impact on my life. It is just weird to be orphaned officially. It isn't anything new. I'm ready for October. I always am. I have a tiny baby girl that is equally as ready. I'm holding my breath.
Someone loves you
Someone sees...
when you're weary,
when you bite your tongue,
when you do that right thing that no one may ever notice.
Someone knows...
when you push through that wall,
when you shed that tear,
when you make it through another day and you're still okay.
Someone cares...
when you feel lonely,
when you're really happy,
when life's good, and hard and everything in-between.
Yes, He sees, knows, cares
and, in the middle of it all, declares--
"You're valuable.
You're mine.
You're LOVED."
