A Letter to
My Son
What words
are there, my son, that can display the glory that was you?
There are no
words to describe the strength and courage that you showed us all through each
moment of your life.
There is no
way to describe the sparkle in your brilliant blue eyes, or how my heart soared
to hear you speak in only the way that you could.
No picture
can capture the exquisiteness that was you; as a tiny baby, or the little man
you came to be.
How can I
speak about the joy in my heart to see you smile and hear your laugh?
There is no
way to describe what it was like to hold you, or to look into your eyes and know
what you were trying to say.
The
expressions of your face; even the movement of your fingers, your hands and feet
held a preciousness few could ever know.
No measure of
time can describe how long it will feel before I see you again.
There is
nothing that can relay the indescribable beauty you brought into our lives,
every day and every night.
There are not
enough words that can grasp everything you are and everything you were; and all
that you meant and will always mean to us
Nothing can
explain how honored I am and always will be to have taken care of you, and to
call you my son.
Words can’t
express the joy in my heart, that, through the tears of missing you, knows you
are free,
and nothing
can describe how I will be waiting to see you walk with Jesus.
“No eye has
seen,
no ear has
heard,
no mind has
conceived
what God has
prepared for those who love him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9
