The Plan of the Master Weaver

Dear Nancy,
Bless you for posting this wonderful poem. It speaks volumes about learning to trust in God, even through extremely tough times when we might tend to lose our focus. I've lost a child, too, and as a parent, one never completely gets over it, but thoughtful friends who share poems like this make the sadness more easy to cope with.
Thank you and blessings,
Sandi in FL.

Thank you Nancy dear for sharing a bit of yourself and the poem. As always, you're there to comfort others and we love you for that. K

Thanks Nancy this has helped but I'm still having trouble writing our many wonderful memories of Shannon and her family. Soon I hope. How deep is the show up your way? Way too much here. So beautiful on the trees. a grateful Gail

Hi Gail,

We had around 6 inches. You're right about it being pretty on the trees. Maybe it's too soon to write about Shannon. Took me close to thirty years before I could write about the babies we lost. But when the time is right, you'll know it.
Stay warm,
Nancy

I know this may sound trite but you never lose someone completely, they are alive in your heart.

The day will come when the bad memories fade and the good become more pronounced.

Since none of us know how long we have, how we will die, I believe we should live as if each day may be our last.Alot less regrets that way.

A word to everybody out there,listen if someone wants to talk,someone who is in grief wants just that,someone to listen.

Also don't avoid a grieving person because you don't know what to say.They feel more isolated and alone when they need someone the most just to be there.

Some very good advice and wise words, Charlene. Thank you for your response,
Nancy
