My godmother passed away today after a long drawn out illness. As I drove home today from my vacation I was torn. Part of me prayed that God would let her hold on long enough for me to see her one more time. Part of me wanted Him to end her suffering and let her finally rest in peace. Thankfully He did what He knew was best.
I'm so grateful that God allowed me to spend Christmas with her and her family.
I'm grateful that I sobered up and was able to be there with her and make up, as much as is possible, for all the time we lost.
I'm grateful to have a connection to her children and husband, godfather and godsister and brother as far as I'm concerned, that will never die.
I'm grateful that my mother had such a wonderful friend to share her life with.
I'm grateful for her sense of humor and true love for me.
I'm grateful that I will see her again someday and spend all eternity with her.
Thank you Lord for ending her suffering. Thank you for the time you allowed us to have with her. Please take her hand and receive her into Heaven. Bless her family and ease their suffering. Show us all how to live the lives she would want us to live. I ask this in Jesus name. Amen
I'll miss you Tina.
Love you forever...
