A Spring of Joy

“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and of unspeakable love.” ~Washington Irving

Her last words to me on Wednesday, “I miss you. I love you. I’ll see you next time.” Next time will be in heaven.

Yes, sweet Nanny has joined Pappy with Jesus. This pain is overwhelming. We have just started catching our breaths from Pappy’s funeral.

So much to say, pointless to try. Her life of faith and perseverance speaks of the hope we hold in our grief.

Always in my heart, dearest Nanny. Always.
