From the ashes that bury and stifle us, and threaten to consume our last joy once and for all, we stand stunned, barely able to breathe, and just wait. Thought and meaning elude us. We are empty... and spent. God is there. And only Gods light is able to pierce the darkness and slowly, gingerly, grow brighter, patiently suspended in time and gently lingering there just for us, until we can once again look up through tear-filled eyes, and see. There is nothing on this planet to right the wrong or steer us back on course, only God. And in His time and when were ready, He is there, and... He knows.
Just breathe, Jer, one slow, tempered breath at a time. And know that an army of loving friends with bewildered, broken hearts, and a lifetime of love and better days are standing strong and ready, just for you. Stay in the moment and manage each minute, sweetie. Hand in hand, and for as long and through whatever it takes, weve gotcha!!!
Loving you now more than ever {{{Jer-Bear}}}... as always, for always, and forever!!! katie. xo
