    A rose once grew
    where all could see,
    sheltered beside
    a garden wall,
    And as the days passed
    swiftly by,
    it spread its branches, straight and tall…

    One day, a beam of light
    shone through
    a crevice that had
    opened wide ~
    The rose bent gently
    toward its warmth
    then passed beyond
    to the other side

    Now, you who deeply
    feel its loss,
    be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~
    its beauty even greater now,
    nurtured by
    God’s own loving care.


    How sorry I am to hear of the loss of your husband. I know you have a wonderful treasury of memories that will bring you comfort.

  68. "I am standing on the sea shore,
    A ship sails in the morning breeze and starts for the ocean.
    She is an object of beauty and I stand watching her
    Till at last she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says:
    "She is gone."
    ...
    Gone! Where?
    Gone from my sight - that is all.
    She is just as large in the masts, hull and spars as she was when I saw her
    And just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination.
    The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me,
    not in her.

    And just at the moment when someone at my side says,
    "She is gone",
    There are others who are watching her coming, and other voices take up a glad shout:
    "There she comes"
    - and that is dying. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.
    Lift us up, Oh Great Spirit, that we may see further."

    Dear margaurite,

    I have read your blog for years and was so disappointed when we missed our chance to lunch together when I was in Michigan. I send you so much love, and feel so very close to you as a blogland friend. I light and candle and whisper a prayer for your Beloved's heavenly homecoming. Hugs, Marianne

  83. Dear Marguerite,

    I just found your blog by following a link to a sock pattern and the firs thing I see is this post that brought tears to my eyes. I don't yet know you, but feel bound to you by a common humanity and deepest sympathies for you and your family.

    I'm glad that you have the memories of 36 years of married life with Bob to cherish. May the moments of laughter and tenderness that you shared comfort you in this time of profound sorrow.
