It is never easy to let go of someone. Whether it is in your control or not, there is still a part of you that will mourn what once was. As I sat and listened to my uncle preach his brother's eulogy, I remembered all of the emotions and pain I felt a short years ago when my world changed. I did not loose my grandmother, for she was never really mine to begin with.
God chose to bless my family with a strong Black woman who would create a legacy of love and leave a powerful mark on this world. I still miss her laugh, her cry, her smile, and her sweet potato pie. But her death brought me closer to God.
I couldn't hide behind her prayers anymore. I had to stand up for myself. I had to forget what i knew and learn what i trust. I trust God. He is the one constant being in my life. He comforted me then and still does today.
So to my in laws I pray that you accept what God allows. He gives us family, and if only for a short time, to love with, share with and learn from. Just as He gives life, He will take it away. Our comfort comes in knowing that a glorified body awaits us and we will reign together with Christ one day.
Peace that surpasses all.
