I wonder, does ...Angie, I think about you daily. <br /><br />I wonder, does it feel strange that people are praying for you and they don't even know you? But I feel like I do, a little bit. Your words, your way of expressing how you feel, your music...each tells a little bit about the person you are. A person who is trusting the Lord when the cost is highest and the storm has not stopped.<br /><br />This made me think of you, too - from "Living After Losing A Child: Beyond Tears" - <br /><br />"I had difficulty breathing. I was constantly sighing out loud. There's no refuge from the pain. You crave peace and there is none. It's an awful place to be. The pain is unrelenting."<br /><br />When I see a Walmart receipt, I think of you. I think, why does it have to be like this? A world where a Walmart receipt can have so much pain and loss attached to it?<br /><br />The other thing is how often I cry for what your family has lost - not only for Mark as he was, but Mark as he would have been if he were alive now, if he had the chance to grow up and become a young man, and later, a Daddy. <br /><br />How does it feel that strangers are crying for the loss of your son and his life? I wonder if it feels invasive or even insensitive...how can I cry and feel so much pain for Mark when I never got to know him? But I do feel for you, so much, so much. <br /><br />And I know that everything I feel is nothing compared to what you feel. Bearing it must be truly unbearable. <br /><br />Just know you're not forgotten. Ever. <br /><br />In Heaven, I will hug you and say hello in person - and you'll be holding Mark in your arms. Oh, God. How do we wait for that day?<br /><br />You and your family matter. You really, really matter - to more people than you would guess.<br /><br />Cathy in Missouri<br />pouzel@juno.comGroveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14867095709948739457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001283287642124869.post-82933549264115891772010-08-25T11:16:59.837-05:002010-08-25T11:16:59.837-05:00So sorry.
