Even the smallest things remind me of her. The sewing machine I will use tomorrow to make hall monitor sashes; the smell of Tide; the ceramic bowl that holds our fruit; the sight of a mother and her little girl. I miss her. I miss hearing her say, "Yes, Rebecca. This is mom." Every time she called; like I didn't know who it was. The sound of her voice, and the feel of her cheek on mine when we hugged. I miss the way she would encourage me without being asked. I often find myself feeling like the last 7 months weren't real...like it never happened. But it did, and life goes on...and I know she would want us to rejoice that she is with the Lord. I look forward to the day I will see her again. In the meantime, I am reminded that "the joy of the Lord is my strength." (Neh 8:10) He is my joy in times of sorrow, I will lean on Him.

Becca, this is so open and honest and it breaks my heart. I pray for you and your family all the time. Thanks for sharing this - I think it helps you to get things out and helps others to read things like this even if they make you cry!
I am thrilled to make you side list! How fun is this. Thanks for stopping in and leaving a message on my blog about where all the visitors are from. Cassie seems to think it is a little competition as to who gets the most responses...I'm winning so far. :) Take care.
Hey Becca, First, I am so sorry about your loss. I can't imagine. But I'm glad to see you're pushing through with the Lord's help. Second, I totally remember you from that insane year in the Kresge basement (no wonder you & Beth went over to GC!!) =) I'm glad to be back in touch...keep checking the blog, I update pretty often with pictures & stories about our crazy kid-soon-to-be-2-crazy kids! ~Andrea (Swove) Davis =)
