One breath
One glance
A single tiny detail transports me from here to there.
Takes me from doing alright to devastation
Changes daylight to dark and grips my soul with terrifying pain.
If I didn’t have hope to cling to
If I didn’t know that every promise of God in Christ is yes and amen
If I didn’t trust that my tears are recorded in His book,
my name written on His hands
and my life secure within His own I’d let the darkness take me under.
Breathe in
Breathe out
It will pass
THIS is not forever.
Forever is waiting for me
Dominic is already there-
Tomorrows without end.
No tears
No fears
No goodbyes
Open arms.

I love this! I agree with everything you wrote 100%. Thank you, Jesus, this painful life as a bereaved mom is not all there is. We will be with our children again FOREVER.

I can not find the words to tell you how much I love this!!! Trying to figure out a way to print this for my mirror. And my sink. And my closet. And my car…. Everywhere’. Thank You!!!
