My mom died 11 years ago, just within weeks of me moving my family to Japan. Mom had fought leukemia for over a decade, clinging to life as long as she could so that she could enjoy being a grandmother to our daughter, until she was 3 years old. Then after we moved far away, God took her away. Before when she was so near death, she told us that she could feel the presence of Jesus next to her in the hospital, giving her a choice to come with Him, or to stay and keep fighting. This last time, however, He was not there and she knew that she was not being given a choice.
So many questions I still wish I could ask her. So many conversations I still want to have with her. But she's gone, taking the wealth of information in her mind with her. The questions I wish I could ask her about my childhood. The secrets she kept. Her soul sleeps, awaiting the Last Day for when we are all called to heaven. On that day, I pray you will see your brother again in the sky. When that time comes, hold his hand high and don't let go.
Dear God, give our brother peace and comfort in his moments of loss. I weep for this loss. I truly do.
TY... 🙏🙏
I couldn't have said it better. I lost my big brother and I miss him every day. Others before him. We are a real family and that's why it hurts so bad. Just know without that hurt you would never have known the love.
🙏🙏
Amen and Amen!
So beautifully said for our brother purkiss. 💕
Our heartfelt prayers are with you and your family. 💔
Knowing how much Our Father loves His Beloved Children will ease this separation until we are all reunited for Eternity.
May God's Grace be with you fren! 🙏🙌😘
This. I am so very sorry. May His angels stay close to comfort you and yours during this painful time.
That made me think of Footprints in the Sand:
One night I dreamed a dream. I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord.
When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.
"Lord, You told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I need You most, You leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
