Your post is incredibly moving. I lost my mum 3 days before my 18th Birthday, she dies of Pelvic Cancer & had been ill for a long time. I will also never forget her. It also hit my brother really hard, he had just turned 16. I never cried, but have since, I know that as my dad said to the nurse on the phone that day "she is with her Lord". I know it's true, she was a Sunday School teacher before I was born & was a committed Christian woman & continued her work as I grew up. You will never forget your mum, like I'll never forget mine. My experiences are nothing of course to what you've gone through, cause everyone's pain is different. I took great courage to write your post & I thank God for you & thank him for giving you the strength to do it. I really pray that you & Dad will have the love of God in your hearts when you visit this man today. He's really hurt & knows what he's done. He also has to live with those memories for the rest of his life. And your words to him in the Courtroom, will have shattered him. I hope this man too becomes a Christian & finds God's love & forgiveness as well. I'll be praying for you both today. I know that nothing will bring your Mum or your Dad back to life, but you have God's promise that you will all be reunited in Heaven. Love Halo |
