With A Heavy Heart....

She has been released from prison; she has been relieved of her pain and her day to day struggle... but this has bought me little comfort in the past days knowing I must continue in her absence. I do though, because I can still hear her fussing at me to stop worrying about everything! :) I don't think her voice will ever leave me, so I pray it never does. I have so much to say, but am ill equipped at the moment. But I draw comfort from the love of friends and family-- their well wishes. It may seem simple enough, but I have begun to rebuild myself with the following thought from a friend I read only yesterday:

This chapter of your life may be met with bereavement and hard times, but in the midst of this storm, you will find a healing like no other. A healing that will make you the strong woman little girls aspire to be. My prayers are with you...

You will never know how much that has meant to me.
