Psalm
56:8
You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.
32 years.
It's hard to believe I'm the mother of a child who would have been 32
years old today. It seems like only yesterday that the weak sound of
Amy's cry was heard when her tiny and trembling body was ushered into
this world by cesarean section, and her vernix covered cheek was
caressed softly against my wet one.
Once again my cheeks are glistening with tears as I sit here and
remember the day her life began and how she felt--the first touch of her
face on mine, the sweetness of a moment like no other.
I cherish the time the Lord allowed me to feel Amy's face against mine.
I'm even thankful for the moments our tears mingled together during
hard times and good times--trials and triumphs--for without one we would
never know the other.
While I will always grieve the physical withdrawal of Amy, I hold her in
my heart and imagine the whisper soft touch of her cheek against mine
when a gentle breeze brushes across my face.
What a beautiful post, Anne. Prayers to you on what has to be a difficult day.
