My dearest David,
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, September 12, 2005, I recieved an alarming call.
Angie had called me and told me of your demise. As my heart was already hurt, I thought I was going to pass out. I couldn't
speak, you wouldn't really do this.
I know your life was your children. This is why we separated, so you could live life to
the fullest and have children. I am terrible sorry about the things that transpired after your children were taken from you.
I wish I could have changed things. I wish you would have called me. I tried to find you when I heard you left. Your ok now,
as my world had changed with the Hurricane, I felt so lost with the news of you passing. As I sit here crying in my sister
in laws home and my husband hugging me, I feel selfish. I still have my life, even though we didn't speak often enough, you
were and always will be a huge part of my life. You will always be loved my dear one. You will always be in my heart.
Love You Always and Forever, Tracy
FOOTPRINTS
|
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with
the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints
in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that
it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it:
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me
all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I
don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never
leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
