I just don’t even know what to say any more. I haven’t been posting, just lurking and reading your posts. I am just so heartbroken, and though I know you will all be helpful,
I do worry about being a dark cloud to the group.

This week has always been hard for me, the 5th is my wedding anniversary….it should be a happy day, but it isn’t. Since Lynn’s Alzheimer’s it is a day that saddens me, reminding me of what once was, and never will be again. The 6th is the anniversary of when I lost my baby….. And now Dad’s service is the 7th.

I have been planning his service, I find it healing in it’s own way. The marble plaque I had made with my poem will be read, then I will place it on his grave. I have been searching for a token, something to give my Moms and siblings after the service.
I came across the Reunion Heart. It touched me. I made little gift bags with the heart, a laminated card of the poem, and a packet of forget me not seeds.

In case you haven’t read the poem, I thought I would share it here…..

The Reunion Heart..

Since Heaven has become your home
I sometimes feel I'm so alone;
and though we now are far apart
you hold a big piece of my heart.

I never knew how much I'd grieve
when it was time for you to leave,
or just how much my heart would ache
from that one fragment you would take.

God lets this tender hole remain
reminding me we'll meet again,
and one day all the pain will cease
when He restores this missing piece

He'll turn to joy my every tear
with thoughts of you I hold so dear
and they'll become my special way
to treasure our Reunion Day.
