"When Days Are Numbered"

Watching my sister die of cancer was a painful thing for her and for me. I still look up at Heaven and say hello to her..

'When Days Are Numbered' Never come back... nor ask me, why? I turned away, and let... love die. Never think of me again. Be a stranger, or be a friend. God has numbered all of my days. So few left, no words to say. Cry today... then let it go. Death brings pain... ask me... I know! Valentine    © 2009 momsgirl2 (All rights reserved)

When a family remains close through a lifetime, it hurts to lose them one by one. Kathie

Yes, it does hurt when a loved one is lost. The best feeling is when you know they have gone to be with Jesus. Valentine

When ever we saw a red cardinal I asked all to pray for her healing. To this day I receive cards etc with a cardinal on them as my cry for prayers touched many and kept my sister here a little longer, Kathie I see a red cardinal and say Hello to her.
