I know that I need to get with the program and get a hold of my camera and shake off the dust - but first I have to find my personal reset button - and it's hiding. I'm still so caught by the grief of my friend whose son overdosed last Sunday. We've been friends for about 58 years - when we were 5 years old in Sunday School. Her faith is strong and she sounds really good - but I know her, she is holding it all together right now all of the rest of those around her. I'll keep doing what I'm doing - praying for them and staying in touch. That is one of the things that age has taught me - reach out even if you have no idea what to say. Today I told her to climb in God's lap and ask for a hug.
I found this shot of the lady that guards the entrance to a crypt at Spring Grove. Behind her is a gorgeous stained glass window that really shines if the sun is just right. Does is make eternity any better to be resting in a fancy crypt?
I know (unfortunately, I've had two quite personal experiences with suicide - one a young 14 year old I'd been working closely with and I was so uneasy that day - maybe a premonition - that's been 20 years ago and I still remember it like it was today) so I know somehow what you're trying to handle both for yourself and for your friend. You're right in just trying to stay in touch. Quite a lovely posting. My thoughts and prayers are for you and your friend tonight.
What a lovely capture...and so sorry to hear of your friend's son. It is hard to know what to say. I have a friend whose son committed suicide years ago and still something will triger a memory for her and all I can do is hold her hand!
Beautiful Crypt Keeper but it doesn't matter what matters is our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior that makes our eternity much better we can't even imagine... so sorry for your loss Cathy. I'm glad you are being a friend to her she needs you in her side.
You are a bessing to your friend I know and even if you can't tell know that you are making a difference in her life and she appreciates it!
Your re-set button will work when it is right. In the meantime let go and let God.
