To imagine your joy takes my breath away, especially in such contrast to my deep pain.
But, then there’s those moments when heaven will find a way to break through the grey earth.
Suddenly, Every sunrise is a peek into your sparkly smile.
Every rainbow is your echoed giggle sent from heaven.
Every seed I plant in the dark cold ground is a deposit of our glorious reunion to come.
Every bloom that I watch grow into explosive color is a holy glimpse of our future happiness together.
Every cuddly creature we hold and love is like feeling your squeals of delight.
It’s all never enough but it’s all just enough to thrust me forward in hope.
Two years of a messy dance, holding both agonizing sorrow and yet, defiant joy.
The pain does not scare me anymore because embracing all the pain is what births the gifts and glimpses of new life.
The pain sings a powerful lament that unearths the unrelenting promise.
New life will always find a way to grow from the valley of shadows.
Because, where there are shadows, there is a rebellious LIGHT hunting me down.
I will always hold the chasm of deep ache wrapped in the triumphant whispers of our promised Hope.
I will never stop choosing to see eternal LIFE breaking through where earthly loss blows open a holy crater of emptiness.
New life will always have the final say.
Eternal Spring is coming and will replace all the painful crushing seeds with wildflowers of Forever JOY!
Love always and forever,
Your grieving mama
