Nights are sometimes long. Especially when you’re grieving the loss of a loved one.
The tears are mostly selfish ones, though.
I weep because I’m angry at how Faith was taken from us.
I weep because her babies don’t have their sweet momma anymore.
I weep because I’ll never get a phone call from her again.
I weep because she won’t be sharing recipes with me anymore, and she won’t be texting me funny memes that only I would get.
I weep because her presence is so deeply missed.
But I know that when her heavenly pay day arrived, there was no more weeping for her. No more fear. No more sadness.
Only joy. Sweet peace and joy.
So I have to wipe away my tears. I have to smile despite it all. Because I know that while I may cry some selfish tears because I miss her here on earth, Faith Lin is rejoicing with the angels. She’d tell me there’s no need to cry, because all is well with her soul.
