~ Children In Heaven ~ 2 Cor 1:3-4

[TrustingHim]

How can he be gone? I think that's the most difficult thing. We know our children are safe in the arms of Jesus, it's the physical that's so hard. How are they just not here anymore? Laughing with them one day, the next day they are no longer here.
One of those days I guess. I know you all know exactly what I mean. The aching for their physical body, their presence in our life. That doesn't diminish our faith, we just miss our children. A mother's aching heart. Mario had such a vibrant personality. His absence is so apparant, ya know. Anyone else like to add their thoughts please do. I'm heading out to work at our church food pantry. I'll check back later. Prayers please.


Bless your heart, Faith&Hope. How well I understand and sympathize with how much we miss our children. My Mark's personality was vibrant too, like Mario's. He filled a room with his presence, bet Mario did too. This morning while driving to work I was telling the Lord how much I miss my boy (even though He already knew....)

Tomorrow is my Mark's birthday, he would be 31, and it's the 8th year he won't be here to celebrate. How our hearts all long for the coming great reunion............

Love,
Trusting

I'll be thinking of you today. I know you will be thinking of Mark all day, how 31 years ago, you gave birth to a beautiful baby boy that made this world so much brighter. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK! Maybe next year we'll celebrate in Heaven.:yeah

THANK YOU, all of you, for the loving thoughts for Mark and us. What a great group of sisters. (:hug:hug:hug Faith&Hope, Lucinda, Forgiven Sinner, pumkin67).

Faith&Hope, thanks for the link to Mario's website -- what a beautiful, handsome guy. Amazing eyes and gorgeous smile. How hard it is to live without seeing those beloved faces...........yup, he certainly reminds me of Mark.

Well, the Lord got us through another day of remembrance and I'm so grateful.


You guys are blessings. Thanks.

Love,

How ya doing sweetie? Thank you for taking the time to look at Mario's photo's. It's hard sometimes for me to look at pictures. The one 8x10 I have on a table, he's wearing sunglasses, it's just too difficult to look at his beautiful blue eyes. It get's me in tears everytime. I guess that's why I chose the large one with the sunglasses.
I'm glad the Lord got you through Mark's birthday. Oh His Amazing Grace.Thank you, Jesus.
Those are especially tough days because birthday's are "their special day" all the memories come flooding back. We try to celebrate their life that day yet at the same time there's that ache in our hearts.
I'm glad Mark and Mario are alike. I hope they are hanging together with all the other children from CIH, wouldn't that be cool!
Jesus, come soon Lord.
God Bless :pray:pray:pray
