thanks for prayers that Thou hast answered... for what Thou dost deny... for storms that i have weathered... for all Thou dost supply!... for pain... for pleasure... for comfort... for grace... for love - august l. storm
sudden flashes of a tender young man who would play music to accompany me
thoughtful self-controlled and gentle, creative enquiring and restless
he grew up honorable and determined and kind
sudden memory of a little girl, saving her school snack to share with me
feisty and fearless and able, chatty and cheerful (and loud!)
she grew up generous and strong and loving
they both have partners now
matched to their strengths and weaknesses
better partners than their parents would have known to choose!
may you fly swift, my children! and soar high! may God grant that we make more memories yet
