Ho...I held my breath at the end. Simply beautiful.<br /><br />How severe the grave, how deep the stillness after the one we love will never say another word just so. <br /><br />But sorrow carves us into the image of Christ. For he was a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. In this, is he our most beloved companion, our light, and our savior.Cassandra Frearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16564236561567663914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-47414855630749120382010-04-09T10:34:59.798-04:002010-04-09T10:34:59.798-04:00Maureen -- this is part 3 of the elegies for your ...Maureen -- this is part 3 of the elegies for your father and brother.
