Reminiscent Of Loved Ones Gone But Not Forgotten ...


Farewell 
Farewell to Thee!  But not farewell 
To all my fondest thoughts of Thee; 
Within my heart they still shall dwell 
And they shall cheer and comfort me. 

Life seems more sweet that Thou didst live 
And men more true Thou wert one; 
Nothing is lost that Thou didst give, 
Nothing destroyed that Thou hast done. 
Anne Bronte 
1820-1849 


When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth 
you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Kahlil Gibran


We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
Kenji Miyazawa


Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
Author Unknown


Psalm 30:5
Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.


Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.


Psalm 46:1-2
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. 
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.


Thanks for stopping by ~ Julie :)
