You and your family are in my prayers, Bonnie.

This poem by e. e. cummings comforted me during a recent loss...

i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Bonnie,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We can only imagine what you are going through. Just know that you and your family are in our thoughts and our prayers.

You asked for words of inspiration and hope that I can help. A few years ago I lost my beloved grandmother and alomst 2 years to the day before her passing, I lost my grandfather. I loved these two so dearly and my heart was literally crying when my grandmother passed. I am very strong in my faith and love southern gospel music and just happened to play a song that truly brought everything into perspective for me and truly helped me to realize that they are only gone form this earth and that they will never die in my heart.

This song always makes me think of them when I hear it. I hope this song will help you though this difficult time as well.. A link to hear the song and the songs lyrics are listed below:

Wish You Were Here

I can just see them walking on the shores of heaven
praising the lord and watching the tide roll in
friends that have gone on oh,how i miss you so
and somehow I know if you could that you'd let me know

that you're doing fine and it doesn't hurt anymore
things couldn't be better that heaven is worth waiting for
that you miss me to and til then you'll be praying for me
and i know if you could talk to me now
than here's what you'd say to me

wish you were here it's such a beautiful place
wish you were here nothing but clear sunny days
well it never rains and no one complains
and we haven't seen a tear we're having a great time
wish you were here...

I can just see them walking on the shores together
their talking with Jesus safe and secure in his love
friends and loved ones walking in heavenly peace
and I know if they could talk to me now
then here's what they'd say to me

wish you were here it's such a beautiful place
wish you were here nothing but clear sunny days
well it never rains and no one complains
and we haven't seen a tear we're having a great time
wish you were here...

well it never rains and no one complains
and we haven't seen a tear
oh, we're having a great time
and we wish you were here

Bonnie - I am so sorry to hear this and that you didn't get more time. Thank you for the reminder to hug our loved ones as it is so easy to take for granted that they will always be there. I will be thinking of you and your family.

CeeCee · 03-02-2007, 07:12 AM

Bonnie- I just wanted to offer my condolences. You and your family are in my prayers.

Bonnie,

I lost my mother three years ago to cancer so I know how hard this can hit a person. My prayers are with you and if you ever need anything let us know.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine the pain that you feel. I can tell how much you love your husband. He will always be with you and be looking over you and your guys' kids and making sure you are all safe and happy. I wish there was something that I could do to take away the pain but time will heal.

Dear Bonnie,

I am so sorry for your loss. I am happy with how we are celebrating our loved ones life these days. When my father in law passed we showed a slide show of pictures that told the story of his life, some wrote letters and poems to leave with him.
I will say a prayer for you and your family.

God Bless you as you need strenghth to get through this.

Bonnie, I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going thru. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything at all.
