Heart To God

My brother passed over
four months ago this week.
Since then I have seen hearts everywhere,

 In rocks and stonesFile:Heart-shaped stone.JPG
Look closely at the 
sand trap in the golf course.
I think God might have had
a hand in this one.
I wondered why I was seeing hearts
everywhere...but I do believe in signs.

 My heart lies somewhere in
the hills of Pennsylvania today...
my sister-in-law posted this and I
saw my brother's gravestone
for the first time.
Another heart to God...
way too soon...
way too soon.

 Back tomorrow morning!

    It is not death to die -
    To leave this earth
    It means he is home with God

    Jesus ,Thou Prince of Life
    Thy chosen cannot die
    They conqueer to be with him.

    So do not weep my dear
    You will see him again
    That is the promise
    to you from they Lord God.

    Hi Diana,
    I'm so sorry for your loss. I have thought about your often and the loss of your brother, and say a prayer each time you come to mind. I can't imagine the pain of losing a sibling. But, like you...I too, believe in signs. What a beautiful sign-to see hearts everywhere.
    My mother just lost her sister--my Auntie and we had the funeral on Friday. My mother is not taking it well.
    May time gradually smooth away your pain, like it has gently worn the beautiful rocks you have discovered.
    Hugs,
    Mary

    Missing him probably won't get easier but finding happy things that remind you of him will. I lost my baby brother to melanoma 7 years ago and I'm constantly reminded of him.
