I can''t even imagine how you are feeling right now. Just know we love you and we are thinking about you at this difficult time. We are always here for you.
Freke, I told my FF about your mother he suggested I share this poem with you. FF''s mother passed away suddenly 3 years ago...Dec. 9th. He wanted me to tell you that he found it really conforting...and it makes the holiday season just a little easier.
(I don''t know your religious beliefs so I''m sorry if this may offend you in anyway)
My first Christmas in Heaven. I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
With tiny lights like Heaven''s stars, reflected in the snow.
The sight is so spectacular; please wipe away your tears,
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ, this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
But their sound can''t compare with the Christmas choir up here!
I have no words to tell you of the joy their voices bring,
It is beyond description, to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see your broken heart,
But I am not so far away, we really aren''t apart.
Thank you for your kindness, you know I hold you dear,
Be glad I''m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ, this year. I send to you a special gift from Heaven, my home above.
I send to you the memory of my undying love.
The gift of love is precious, more precious than pure gold,
And always most important, in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep those others, as my Father said to do.
I just can''t count the blessings He has in store for you!
So have a merry Christmas, and wipe away that tear,
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ, this year!
Oh Freke, so terribly, terribly sorry to hear about your terrible loss. Prayers and thoughts outgoing to you and your family at this incredibly difficult and painful time.
Oh Freke, so sorry to hear the news. My deepest condolences go out to you. I know you are a very strong lady who will make it through. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Hang in there!
