Letters To My Son

And stolen. Stolen.  Allowed, for a higher purpose. His purposes. I am sorry for your pain, little one. You were my never-ending shadow. Now, I hide in the shadows of life, vigilantly awaiting your return. I overshadow you with prayer and love, with every step you take, every breathe you draw, and every mistake you will ever make. I love you. Mommy loves YOU! I am always here, because I never left. Until we meet again. I love you son.

A broken heart is an understatement. Total annihilation of the soul. Permanent and perpetual tears. Hope guides the way out of the blackened pit of despair. Purified Love has won. His love is greater. The thorn in the side of St. Paul. Yet, oh how we grow at Godspeed. Until we meet again. I love you, son.

I received this can of Campbell's soup today, at the Charlotte Diocese. What are the odds? Lightning McQueen? Really? God's reassurance that He has us, son. I love you. I miss you. Smile, laugh, and play. Feel joy! Mommy has you, and so does Blessed Mother and Jesus. Heaven just kissed us both today, Terry. Until we meet again. I love you son.
