Rest in Piece Dear Sara
Today I write with a heavy heart as I learn about another dear friend leaving us way too soon for her final resting place. Our generation has felt this loss more than once; the hurt, anger and confusion of why the best has to be taken from us way too soon. The best that made so much of an impact on others, the best that is needed here with us on earth as a mother, friend, wife, daughter and so much more. Then I am reminded that this is God's plan A. This was His plan all along and he has something bigger in store for us, bigger than we can possibly ever imagine. Is this why OUR best is taken from US!?! As I write I see how selfish it is, how selfish for me to want this person that God needs, well WHAT ABOUT US? God needs HIS Angels for bigger reasons and that helps me understand that, OF COURSE, He takes the best because He has a bigger calling for them and that is why HE took Sara.
This amazing woman with two very young children that need her, this unbelievably strong woman that made me laugh and kept a smile on my face and her own bringing the joy out in everyone that knew her. This amazing woman that you couldn't help but feel so tall and strong when with her. This amazing woman that brought love and joy to everyone. This was God's plan for us to learn everything we could on HOW she lived her amazing life here on earth with us because He needs her for way more! Her children, how and what do you say when a child loses their mother?! What, God, do we share with them and help them to move forward without this special person that loved them unconditionally since the day they were conceived?! And that is what my heart is trying to get a grip on as I process this difficult loss of this outstanding, caring, loving friend. I am constantly reminded that our children are God's and we don't know how long they will be in our hands, and we don't know as mothers, how long they will have us either. (Thank you Joy for helping me understand Gods Plan A)
Love. Love. and more love with your children every single day. Shed. that. chaos. And keep that joy in your child's eye as long as we physically can. Sara, you will live on in so many of our hearts for the rest of our life. Thank you for being you and may you finally rest in peace dear, sweet, beautiful friend.
