Today makes a year that my beautiful friend passed away. It seemed so short and then again so much has happened in that short time that it feels like she has been gone from my life for ever. Last year I felt as though nothing could ever be the same but God heals and Our Lady wraps the sorrowful in her mantle and holds you tight.
I can do nothing but join my heart to her husband Phil’s and all the precious Eastman kids. If you pray the rosary won’t you please join me in offering your rosary for the soul of Mrs Amy Eastman and her family. If you did not know her or have not followed her life you can read last years post here.
Since you’ve been gone
by Tricia Gaitan
I’ve had to live
and work and breath,
see the beauty in life
and make time to grieve.
The bread must bake
the books be read
no time to lay down a tired head
Full of hope I must remain
for so many little ones to train.
but still the laudry must be done,
the children smile and laugh and run
they find the time to see the bees
collect the flowers, climb the trees
The dishes pile inside the sink,
I miss you ever more I think
and still the good days come often by
it’s good to smile instead of cry
Amy, you know
I miss you still,
I love you dear
I always will.
