God's Tears
Uploaded: January 21, 2009
This is the anniversary of the day we buried my mom in this cemetery. The cemetery is beautiful, and I always feel like I'm on sacred ground when I'm there. So many stories. So many lives lost in service to our country, either directly, or like my mom, in living a life supporting a military officer who served his country. I miss her so much.

My dearest friend, what a beautiful image you have posted in dedication to your mother. Know this that you and I share faith that rest on a day where we will be reunited with the ones we love. I am sure your mother is proud of the person you have become."Hope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops... at all." ~Emily Dickinson
