Today is the 5 year anniversary of us losing our niece Emma Grace Reaves. We loved her and yet never got to know her. We will again see her one day in Heaven. We love you Scott, Kari, Lane and Bella...
Just Those Few Weeks
For those few weeks - I had you to myself.
And that seems too short a time to be changed so profoundly.
In those few weeks - I came to know you...and to love you.
You came to trust me with your life, Oh, what a life I had planned for you!
Just those few weeks - when I lost you,
I lost a lifetime of hopes, plans dreams and aspirations..
.a slice of my future simply vanished overnight.
Just those few weeks - it wasn't enough time
to convince others how special and important you were.
How odd, a truly unique person has recently died and no one is mourning the passing.
Just a mere few weeks - and no "normal" person would cry all night
over a tiny, unfinished baby, or get depressed and withdraw
day after endless day.
No one would, so why am I?
You were just those few weeks my little one
You darted in and out of my life too quickly.
But it seems that's all the time you needed to make my life
so much richer and give me a small glimpse of eternity.
