I love this. Hope you don't mind but I'm going to save it.

This was printed at the back of my mom's obituary paper.  A colleague of my mom's found this poem and I still cannot read it without crying, it is so beautiful.  I know my mom is in a better place but I do feel like a part of me died too.  It's strange, 2 days after my mom passed away I woke up thinking "I don't have to worry about mommy, she is better now."  I prayed so often for God to heal her, but it was not His will.  The pain I felt to see her so sick and not being able to do much for herself was just as bad as the pain I am feeling now.  I hated to see her suffer.  But now I am the one suffering, because she is not there anymore.  I miss her so much.  And on 15 December it will be one year since my dad died, so there is all this raw emotions I am experiencing as that day approaches.  Never imagined that within 9 months I would lose both parents and become an orphan.

This is so beautiful, brought tears to my eyes. We had something similar printed in my moms obituary papers at the funeral. This just speaks to my heart because I know that God saw my mom getting too sick here on earth and he decided that he needed her back, so that she could live with him in peace and pain free. I know that God knows our hearts are breaking, so he allowed us to be there when she took her last breath. I was able to hold her hand when she went to be with our loving God. There was a peace, a silence that I could never explain other than to say it was God giving her rest and us peace. Thank you for posting.
