A piece of my heart now lives in heaven. I cherish all the memories we got to make in the time you spent on earth, and I miss you more than my heart can ever express. I love you Dad.
i don’t want you to miss this. the bible talks about Jesus grieving. it says he felt the weight of sadness and he grieved. that tells me one thing. he doesn’t expect me to keep it together. he understands that life can be heavy and i can grieve instead of pretending like i’m okay
strength is being able to look at God when life sucks. not with shaking and clenched fists, but with open hands saying “God i know you are good, even though my circumstances aren’t.”
