Missing her...

It's 2:15 AM (3:15 GA time) and I cannot sleep. I can't bear being in the house without her. Odd...when we walked through the door earlier, you could feel she wasn't here.

The funeral home was filled - so many people loved her and I'm not surprised. There have been few women who have walked this earth that had her kind heart, grace, and beauty. The Lord blessed us immeasurably.


She Walks in Beauty

She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellow'd to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impair'd the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o'er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express

How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent!

Praying - that you get some rest, & that God fills the void (for lack of a better word) w/ His presence. My words are clumsy! Praise God His Word is true & therefore a source of comfort in such a time as this.
