I sit on a shore with waves of tears tickling my toes. Tears from far off lands. Because of the wonderful people I've "met" through blogging I'm aware of a much bigger world; right now that includes the world of hurt.
I ache for the family left behind by RivkA bat Yishaya at Coffee and Chemo. She lost her fight with cancer this week. I never knew her in real life, but I read her blog faithfully and I found so much encouragement from her words.
In the past two weeks, two different families I followed through the blog-o-sphere, lost children to genetic disorders. I don't even want to imagine their pain and loss- but it's impossible not to go there. When I look into my own little people's eyes I feel a bittersweet thankfulness for my blessings and a wish that everyone's child could be well.
A longing for Heaven...
I think of the people whose lives intersect with mine. I think of all the prayers of thankfulness, all the prayers of despair... and am overwhelmed by the majesty of the Creator.
He hears. He cares.

oh, I'm sorry.
i am glad though, to have the blog universe to "meet" beautiful people.
It is amazing how close you can feel to someone you've never met. I am sorry for their pain and yours! Blessings.
