Autumn's life song
sang with you for three years.
three short years.
three precious years.
and now Autumn has been
singing with Jesus
for three years.
three long years
for all who loved
Autumn...
her mommy and daddy,
her sister and brother,
her grandpas and
grandmas,
her uncles and aunts,
her cousins,
her friends,
and all who were blessed
by a vibrant little girl
who loved to smile and hug
and who loved everything purple
and who loved Jesus.
and tears
still
fall.
because it still hurts.
grief knows no timelines.
grief knows no deadlines.
it. simply. is.
it is a journey which
often feels like a maze
or labyrinth.
and the heart
so broken can
feel as if there is
no destination.
like a chord suspended
which refuses to resolve.
and if given the choice,
Autumn's life song would still
be singing here on earth.
yet in a very real sense,
her life song is still singing
here on earth for
you. are. her. voice.
Jen and Phil,
through God's strength,
you have given hope
where hope seems absent.
you have given a safe place
for those most vulnerable.
you have spread love
through Autumn's
precious
life
song
literally
around the world.
and as voices join
in Autumn's song,
her one melodic line
bursts into harmonies only
heaven could create!
notes soar into the sky
and grace notes sparkle
like a dew-kissed flower.
notes still rain down as
tears fall, for you
long to hold her
in your arms.
as her life song
continues to sing,
God will use that
one small voice to
bless
countless
life songs,
and perhaps
even be a part
of giving a little one
who has had their song
silenced by
fear of abuse
the courage to sing again.
and Autumn dances
and celebrates
with Jesus
as her life song
sings
on.
