I am SO SO sorry for your lost. I lost my husband last October but he was in his sixties; a very young, vital man in spite of his years......it's no easier but...in a way, I guess it is, compared to losing such a young man as you did. My husband was cremated. I have his ashes here in a closet until they'll be dropped from a small plane over the ocean in May at Marina del Rey, here in LA...the same day the half of his ashes his children took home to Germany after the funeral will be spread over the North Sea. <br />Sometimes, I go past that closet where the ashes are and simply can't BELIEVE he's there...I guess I just don't believe he IS.<br />You write beautifully and honestly..thanks so much.

I just don't feel like she's there. But for that first two years or so...I'd cry every time it rained. Even though we know in our heads that there is a new body in heaven...we long for the touch of the one we knew. <br /><br />It baffles me how you put your feelings into words, Angie. I so admire you.

Visiting that stone isn't necessary for him to know and for you to know that you are thinking of him. I'de say you carry him everywhere you go, right there in your heart. That sounds sappy coming from me because I don't usually talk in those ways with words.. but I think it's true. <br /><br />Happy Valentines day to you and your boys - KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40716328257111525.post-56099959736950785182010-02-14T00:15:39.299-06:002010-02-14T00:15:39.299-06:00Your honesty blows me away. What I love about you,...Your honesty blows me away. What I love about you, Angie, is that you are not afraid to say what so many want to but can't find the courage to express. And though your sadness is so palpable, your transparency is giving hope to others who are grieving. Christ is using your sorrow to encourage others that they are not alone or strange in their feelings. Don't change, Angie. I see Jesus in you and that is a beautiful thing to behold. What the enemy meant to destroy you, God is using for good, for the saving of many lives.

I gue...It's not weird, it makes perfect sense. I guess the only words I have to offer are to remember that Brian is no longer hampered by his body here on Earth. He's probably loving his new body in heaven! But I so understand longing to be held by those arms. Your memories are a great testimony to a marriage based on love.
