Hello my Love,Having to say goodbye to you on August 14, 2013; was one of the hardest experiences of my life. Tears quietly rolled down my face as I held back the sobs that were begging to burst forth from underneath my heart. Lord, not yet. Please I'm not ready to say goodbye. I still have so much to say. Not yet, Lord, not yet. No longer could I hear your voice saying, I love you Ellie. No longer could I see your smile or feel your hand holding mine. But even in the midst of " no longer" here on earth, there is a ray of hope that shines within me. A knowing. A promise that, I will one day see you again.
Tom, I find comfort in knowing there is a real place that has been created by God and prepared by Jesus for each of us. Greater than we can fully understand or imagine. A place called heaven. As I awake to another day on earth of " no longer." I anchor my heart in the assurance of what Jesus said in John 14:2, (KJV). "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. In those moments when the memories return and the sadness resurfaces. I find comfort and even joy. For in heaven , there is no mourning, crying, pain or death. All things are made new.
Tom, I will always love you forever.
