Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Jonzeeta, Belinda and JJ,

We, too, share your sorrow!
We know this time of grief is so difficult for you and thinking of you hurting makes my heart hurt too. We can never really know how another feels. We hope you only know our concern for you is real. We just wish there was something more that I could do to take away the sorrow that is weighing down on you. Although we cannot change this, we can extend my loving thoughts, my heartfelt prayers for you.
