The Sunshine of My Life

“It has been said, ‘time heals all wounds.’ I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.” – Rose Kennedy
Amen.
I read this quote soon after my husband passed away. I thought if any person would know the pain and scars of grief, it would be Rose Kennedy.
The death of my husband caused a deep wound. The pain of his loss has not yet lessened. It’s just too soon. Maybe it never will.
But along with the grief and the love, there is a deep feeling of gratitude. Gratitude that God sent him to me. Gratitude that God revealed to me what real love is all about.
I used to tell Rich all the time, “You are the sunshine of my life.” And he was. He was also the love of my life.
And he still is.
Rose Kennedy was right. The pain is never gone. But I wouldn’t change a thing.

  2. T he pain will never go away, but perhaps some small understanding of God’s Plan for you will come to Light. As we approach Christmas My Prayer for you is PEACE BE WITH MY FRIEND.
