It is such a gift to have a place to share what He speaks to my heart but to have it received is another level of blessing entirely. Thank you all so much.xoxoxo<br /><br />Diane, I just want to share with you again how sorry I am for the loss of your son. I feel so small writing anything about such tremendous heartache and sorrow. <br /><br />I admire you for not being angry with God...you are one incredible force of faith.<br /><br />I am so happy for you that you are surrounded by pure light! I do not have knowledge about that but I would imagine that beautiful light shines and eliminates any despair when you are missing your precious son. <br /><br />I pray that He continues to hold you up, strengthen you, equip you and lavish you with heaps of His love and goodness.<br /><br />You are an inspiration beautiful friend......xoSibihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564044378590200281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859334581397580560.post-65856706378077949292012-07-06T10:21:09.716-05:002012-07-06T10:21:09.716-05:00Thank you for this sweet reminder of the Father...Thank you for this sweet reminder of the Father's heart.SheilaG @ Plum Doodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10581627279563855253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859334581397580560.post-43486413381044595192012-07-06T10:12:10.863-05:002012-07-06T10:12:10.863-05:00Sibi...I knew the day I met you on Target shopping...Sibi...I knew the day I met you on Target shopping for a hair sraightener that we were supposed to meet. What a beautifully true piece of writing you have crafted from the heart. It is never too late to learn how much He loves us....at 46 I am just now beginning to realize that, yes, I am valuable and beloved....a treasure...we all are.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12498578297097094649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859334581397580560.post-13088778431401551392012-07-06T07:29:44.716-05:002012-07-06T07:29:44.716-05:00sibi - wonderfully written my dear. precious words...sibi - wonderfully written my dear. precious words that touched many hearts. it is truly amazing what Christ can teach us through our children. when i had my own children it was a turning point in my life on so many levels. i am always blessed by the lessons our heavenly father teaches through the lives of our precious babies. when i read your writing i am always touched as your story and mine are similar in someways. thank you for writing.... hugs & loveRachelRAdamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135379627950527249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859334581397580560.post-33090084224329002382012-07-06T06:31:03.847-05:002012-07-06T06:31:03.847-05:00Sibi - I cried from beginning to end of this post ...Sibi - I cried from beginning to end of this post - what a testament of faith and staying true to your beliefs. I used to only talk to God when things were rough - or I needed something. Ever since my son died I talk to him CONSTANTLY, 24x7 - and his phone is never off the hook. I know he is always there listening to me. The question I have been asked lately is.....are you angry with God? And every time I hear this, my answer is the same - NO. I could never be angry at a God who died for us so that we might live. Yes, I am saddened and burdened like never before. Yes, my faith is being tested like never before. But our God is so faithful to us. I have this quote on my wall at work: "We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned so as to live the life that is waiting for us" (Joseph Campbell). I haven't been able to let go of the life I thought I would have (to be a grandmother was one of my dreams - and of course now that will never happen). I hope one day I can get myself off that horrible day and move forward with my life. On July 4th, we light up the night sky with fireworks in my son's honor - and I know he saw them from his place in heaven!<br /><br />I have a question for you and your readers.....do you believe in the afterlife? I was a bit skeptical - but no more. Jonathan comes to visit us in the form of pure light that has been captured at my back door steps by our security camera. I am so blessed by his visits!!! Anyone who would like to see these pictures can email me, I'd be happy to share them. They will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. personal email is dmpfromri@yahoo.com <br /><br />Much love to you Sibi and your precious angels and your drop dead hunky husband - and I am so excited about your photography business!!! I so wish I could have pics taken by you - it would be magical indeed.<br /><br />xxoo - Diane T :)DianeTaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05302878458733208960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859334581397580560.post-11729550058289237432012-07-05T15:58:25.630-05:002012-07-05T15:58:25.630-05:00This is beautiful.This is beautiful.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16960325484784754048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859334581397580560.post-43587943937270212132012-07-05T12:35:47.998-05:002012-07-05T12:35:47.998-05:00Thanks for writing this as I sat in my car today w...Thanks for writing this as I sat in my car today with tears rolling down my cheeks, this was my cry before the Lord. I have felt unworthy of cryig out to him on my behalf. I felt as if it was selfish of me. I had no trouble crying out for others. This post helped me so much!! Love you Sibi. I love reading about how much you hav accomplished. I admire your heart. May God continue to Pour into you and yours as much and more abundanty as you pour out to others. <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873700028651175076noreply@blogger.com
