Dr. Jim Conway, speaking of the death of his wife, says, "When Sally died, it was as if someone took a giant samurai sword and just cut me right down the middle. I kept asking myself and God, 'How am I supposed to go on with one leg, with one arm, with half a brain? How am I supposed to do all of this?"
... holding my hand as I journey home.
This is the way, come and walk in it.
Keep me faithful Lord.
Well With my Soul - Brenton Brown/Daniel Ornellas
Sometimes it's hard, sometimes I cry
Sometimes my heart wants to know why?
But Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light
And though my heart is aching
And there're tears in my eyes
Whatever my lot, You have taught me to know
It is well, it is well with my soul
You have reached down to me, You have rescued me
And have shed Your blood for my soul
And I live now knowing that the sky
And not the grave will be my goal
And just as in life, also in death
This truth will comfort and console
That soon I will see Your face
And hear Your voice and know that it is well
But please hold my hand, Lord, and hold on tight
'Cause the road here is narrow
Yes, the road here is narrow

Thank you for the wonderful talk the other day, for believing in my abilities...I decided to take the job. (I may be coming to you for some song ideas)
And, as I said the other night... your hair looks beautiful!
With lots of love and tears,

My heart is hurting for you, I too am wishing that your little hand could still be held in Nate's big hand.
You are SO loved. Looking forward to spending time with you when you get home.

when i saw that amazing picture of you holding Nate's hand...i thought of this song. i'm sure you've come across it already...and i know the words must be hard to say some days...but that picture says it all. what a beautiful reminder of the love you share.
"i'm lookin for a way to feel you hold me. Feel your heartbeat just one more time. Reaching back, trying to touch the moment. Each precious moment that you were mine.
How do you prepare when you love someone this way. To let them go a little more each day.
The stars we put in place
The dreams we didn't waste
The sorrows we embraced
The world belonged to you and me
The oceans that we crossed
The innocense we lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again
Because it was beautiful
It was beautiful
So this is missing you is overwhelming. When it hits me, you're not coming back. And in my darkest hours I have wondered
Was it worth it, for the time we had. My thoughts get kinda scattered, But one thing I know is true. I'll bless the day that I found you
The stars we put in place
The dreams we didn't waste
The sorrows we embraced
The world belonged to you and me
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again
Because it was beautiful
It was beautiful
The rules we stepped aside
The fear that we defied
The thrill of the ride
The fire in our hearts that burned
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again
Because it was beautiful
It was beautiful"
Praying for you today Rosanna.
In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety. psalm 4:8

I don't even know you - but I'm so touched by you. We go to the same church... My husband Neil worked with Nate a few times in June and July on a few Construction Sites. I think about you often and my prayers go out to you and your family. --Jocelyn Mercer.
Hope your enjoying your sister and Auntie time. I don't doubt you are. I love you.
Praying for you right now.
Thank you for the 'hi'
Hi back.
I won't say anymore because I am sure it has all been said by lovely and well meaning people.
Know you are on my heart.
Rosanna, seems like every time I had read my Bible this past month, God reminded me of you. He continually reminds me to lift you up in prayer. I pray that your questions will draw God nearer. I pray His voice is sweet in your ear and that you are cherished through the comfort of His Word. You are His and He is holding you closely.
