A new prayer of mine
I pray that someday I can rejoice in where Nate is now, rather than be so sad over where Nate is _not_ now. I can't imagine how bright and shining his smile is now. Or how sparkly his eyes are. Those were truly part of his namesake, "Gift of God". It's just so hard that our gift was here for only a short time. I don't believe that God sent the tornado to "take him back", but I believe God took him back right away after the tornado hit him.

I will be praying with you Jerry...
oboe solo???
Yeah -- oboe solo? Christy got us all curious at the CaringBridge site. ;-)
I'll add that to my prayers for tonight too.
You know, people don't entirely leave when they pass on. Part of them stays behind in every person they touched, every person who remembers them. Some say that the time between a person's birth and death is only the core of their earthly existence, because their influence persists long after they have gone. Perhaps that's why Creation has to go on until we've all returned to God -- we leave so many bits of ourselves behind, which don't catch up until the people who carry them join us there.
