To Everyone:
I last saw Bobby in person on Christmas Day 2005. He got on the airplane at the Baton Rouge Airport, and flew back home to Tampa with his three kids. I gave him a big hug. (I can still feel that wonderful hug.) I told him I loved him, not knowing it would be our last time together. I spoke to him on the telephone almost daily right up until two days before his death on April 7th. I was supposed to see him again on Easter, but he didn't make it. Those were the words the nurse told me the night he died, "He didn't make it."
So you all will know how difficult Christmas Day will be for me, as it will be for all of you.
Here is my prayer. I wrote it a while back, and someday God will answer this prayer. It used to say "My, Me, and I," but I changed those words to include all of you in this prayer. We all share the very same pain every single day.
Our Dear Heavenly Father
Our hearts are so broken.
There's no joy inside.
We don't understand
why our dear child has died.
God give us strength
to help us get through
and bring back the joy
that we once knew.
Lord, reach down your hand
from high up above.
Take all our pain
and replace it with love.
Please let our tears
forever depart
May we wake up tomorrow
with peace in our hearts.
For we know you have reasons
we don't undertand
But Your love can heal us
if we hold onto Your hand.
In the sweet name of Jesus
please give us peace,
once more to be happy
and no more to grieve.
Amen
