Love got many faces and so are the lose there of. If we stay strong and keep going, not giving up, we will find happiness again and keep the loving memory of those who left us.
Heaven on earth and in our hearts
They come and go, we can not control that. But we can control how long they are in our hearts.
Death, departure and lose. The part of life almost no one likes to talk about or think about it. The part of life that destroys us or can make us free. Those who have lost a loved one through death, know exactly what I am talking about. That implies almost every single person on this earth. There are mothers who have lost a child or more, Wives lost their husbands, Fathers lost their whole families, Grandparents lost their grand kids. Is there a chance for us to understand that death is part of life? Today I know exactly that there is more to death than only lost and pain. Death does parts us physically from the one we love but that does not mean it parts us also spiritually. We keep them alive as long we remember them. And is there any greater way than to remember the awesome moments we have had with them? No matter of how long those moments been. A moment in the hospital, a few years in friendship, a whole life with a family member. I do believe with all my heart that there is a meaning to everything. I have not had this kind of faith or believe always. Only in the last 16 years I finally understood what the reasons are that we get separated from the ones we most dearly love. It is not to give us pain. But to strengthen us. I know it sounds so not right. I can understand everyone who tells me that I am nuts not only thinking this but also typing it out loud. But I ask you to take a careful look at this. Do we suffer because of them gone or because we are left behind? Do we cry of the lose or the time we miss now not having with them? To mourn for those who left us is most important, but also it is important for us to Rise up again, let go of them and look forward to the day that we meet with them again. Rise above the pain, live the life they wanted you to have and never forget that they will always be a part of you, no matter what happens, just remember them and the love you had or have for them.
God's Lent Child
"I'll lend you for a little while A child of mine" God said - For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he's dead. It may be six or seven years or forty two or three but will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me? He'll bring his charms to gladden you and, should his stay be brief, you'll have his nicest memories as solace for his grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return but, there are lessons taught below, I want this child to learn. |

I've looked the whole world over, in my search for teachers true, and from the things that crowd life's lane I have chosen you. Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labour vain, nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again? I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done" for all the joys thy child will bring the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may, and for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay. But, should thy Angels call for him much sooner than we planned, we'll brave the grief that comes and try to understand. |
