Sorrow And Memories

Such sorrow and grief.
Struck by shocking tragedy.
So unbelievable.
Way too young.
To see so many people hurting. In such pain.
All of the grieving happens in many different ways.
It's an overwhelming feeling, almost.
Taken; ended in an instant.
So sudden.
So horrifying.
We question why God does what He does.
Yet, we trust in what His plans are. Until we one day meet Him face to face, we won't know why He chose to call her home so soon.
The Bible tells us to mourn with those who mourn.
So, we need to hold each other up, and help one another to seek God's comfort in all of this.
Even though she is no longer here on the earth with us, her legacy will forever live on.
All of the memories, texts, and phone calls.
They'll all stay with us.
So, although some of us may regret what we did or didn't say to her...
Although we wish things could've been different...
We should feel blessed.
Thankful for the short time that we got to have with her.
Some day, we will get to see her again.
But, until then, she'll be in the arms of our marvelous Maker.
Rest in peace, Jennifer.
You will be greatly missed, and will be in our hearts forever.
