You’re not here, can you hear me?
The call that shattered my world, was the voice that called you home.
And now I am left to hurt, how can I face this world alone?
You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Bright skies will soon be overhead
We'll enter into Heaven's rest
There'll be no death, there'll be no pain
So now I wait for a chance, to see your face again
Cause I know this is not the end
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
Even when I walk through the valley shadowed with death
I will not fear for You are with me
Our Father Himself will be our light
His arms will hold us and with His hands
He'll wipe away the tears that stain our eyes
The beauty of Your peace

Rosanna. I love you.
Praying for you!!!
Love

Such beautiful pictures. You continue to be in our prayers Rosanna...
I check your blogspot, wanting to "hear" from you. I find new posts, and then am left speechless...I write a line, then erase it, because no response seems good enough. Does it help to say Precious Rosanna, you are doing all the right things? ...that your writings speak of God's power and faithfulness? ...of an incredible young woman? ... that you are blessing others in ways you can't imagine? Each one of us who writes, and those who don't all desire with all our heart that we could "make it all better". Your blog keeps you very close to our hearts and in our prayers. "God, carry Rosanna in your strong arms today." Love, A.Shirley
Just as the above post writes, i just wish that i could make it all better.
I love you.
Your pal, kari
Your a true woman of faith, an inspiration, praying for daily, your always in my thoughts and prayers. You are very Loved.
wish I could come and hug you today! love you

I, too, am left speechless. The words of these songs mixed up as you have done, just give me a glimpse of what your feelings and thoughts are. You are in many prayers, Rosanna. I hope that is some comfort to you.
Tears fall anew as I read this. Seeing the pictures of the two of you . . . reading about your pain . . . nothing we can do is good enough. All I can say is that I'm praying and that I love you. We have our screen saver set to go through the pictures on our computer and everytime one of your wedding pictures pops up, I pray for you. Everytime I think about how dark your days must feel and how empty your bed must feel, I pray for you. Everytime I see something that reminds me of you, I pray for you. I love you Rosanna.
Love you and miss you!
Beautiful Medley.
Sums it up.
thank-you for keeping your blog up , i check it often :)
mi amiga estamos orando por ti, estas en mi corazón todo el tiempo y te tengo presente. LLoro y es tan intenso porque tu eres mi amiga, estas sufriendo y no puedo abrazarte, me duele mucho pero quiero que sepas que estoy pendiente de ti.

Rose,
I love you and you are on my heart and mind daily. Your choice to look to the Lord in this desperate and difficult time is an inspiration to me. I miss you.

Rosanna,
You've been on my heart all evening and I know all I can do is pray. My heart aches as I think of you tonight... know that you are loved.

Thinking of you today Rosanna. Love you and miss you.
Thinking of you so much. I look at the lovely pictures of you two and my heart just hurts so badly for you.
I was cleaning out a closet the other day and found the Elisabeth Elliot book you lent me when I first went into the hospital with Lucas. I'll need to get that to you somehow - I couldn't bring myself to read it then, but have been reading it now. She's a wise woman - sometimes I still want to close my eyes and stick my fingers in my ears "la la la" at the things she says, because I am so UN wise. God is speaking to me in many ways these days - and your blog is one of these ways. Thanks for speaking.
Anyway, sorry about the long comment.
Rose, I love you...would love to give you a Daku squeeze from all of us, Nate, Katie and Emma would hug you tight. :) You are so precious to us. Do you still feel precious to God? "You are my hiding place...and surround me with songs of deliverance." Ps 32:7. Let Him sing over you today.
praying for you today.
Rosanna

Hola MI Rosa!! te mando un fuerte abrazo desde aqui.
Quiero verte, estoy en vancouver. Dime cuando funcionaria para ti. te llame pero no estoy segura que tienes el mismo numero tu voicemail respondio. te quiero mucho.
I just came across your blog today and I can't stop crying. I can't imagine your pain. Your blog has really put things into perspective for me. Thank you. You are a blessing even in your pain.
Just sending you an endless overseas internet hug!
Love you lots. Missing you lots.
Hi friend,
I'll call you in a few weeks when I'm back in Canada. I know I can't make anything better, but I look forward to crying WITH you and hugging you tight. I look forward to sitting on the same couch as you, breathing the same air and sharing each other's presence. Love you, sweet daughter of the King.

Rosanna! I've been thinking about you lots again. You are such a treasure. I'm praying right now that God will meet you today and give you strength and courage to take another step. I love you!
Sarah.
Hi Rosanna,
I just wanted to let you know that many people who you don't know (I knew Nate) read your blog and pray for you often. Thank you for sharing your pain with those who long to support you with prayer during this time. We are praying for you.
