In Loving Memory of Aunt Laura

In Loving Memory of Aunt Laura

I remember strolling around the yard with Laura and family, taking in the wonderful sights and aroma of the garden.


God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, ‘Peace be thine’.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

This will be a super quick post because I need to complete my work-at-home hours! Stu and I were shopping for groceries yesterday when we were greeted by one of our favorite Dahl's employees surrounded by red, pink, and white flowers and balloons! Georgia's smile beamed and her heart-shaped earrings shimmered as she stood beneath the balloon arch. Stu immediately asked, "Which flowers do you want?" I pointed to the bouquet of alstroemeria and exclaimed, "I want THAT one!" Georgia placed the bouquet in a box with red tissue and we were on our way ~ with a bonus mylar balloon! I enjoy those kind of surprises after 29 years of marriage! Happy Valentine's Day!
