In His Arms

My mother-in-law passed away and her funeral was Saturday. It wasn't unexpected, but there's a hole with her gone.
I feel great joy knowing she's in a realm of peace and love. Brad (my husband) told me about a beautiful statue that's in the funeral home. It's an old woman reaching through a veil while waving good-bye the other way ... on the other side of the veil she's a young woman again, bathed in light. Tis is how I picture her passing.
It was really sweet seeing family and friends. I imagine she was right in the midst of us, happier than ever because we were all together.

    To you, your husband and all your family - my condolences.

    This was such a beautifully written piece Denalee and I'm sure that in life and beyond you Mother inlaw would have been proud and blessed by the joy and love of your family.

    Sorry to hear of the death of your MIL....unexpected or not, as you said, it leaves a hole.
    I love the image of that statue you were talking about. SO TRUE.
    That is the only thing that keeps me sane with the death of my son.
    Knowing he is HAPPY and I'll see him again.
