Still hurting. Still wishing I could chat with her on the phone or go shopping with her or share a lemon tart with her. Anything was great when we were together. We had fun together, regardless of what we did.
This past week I have had a hard time getting much done. The thought of the stuff that I normally would just do around the house, now feels like a huge hurdle to jump over, and I don't have it in me to jump right now. I just feel sort of empty a lot of the time.
And now after just two short paragraphs, I am empty of words too.

Hey Love,
It is so encouraging to read your thoughts, even if they are heavy ones. I don't want to talk you out of what you are feeling. I just thought that now, of all times, might be a good time to be reminded of the promises that God has given us:
1Corinthians 13:12 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
John 1:12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
John 4:13 Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
1Corinthians 15:50 I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."[g] 55"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"[h] 56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Thank you, Brian.
My mirror is cloudy with grief, thanks for helping to make it a little more clear.
