Sunday night was the last conversation we had where she was able to respond back much at all. It went like this. I bent down to tell her my visit had come to an end. She called me her little princess and moved my hair out of my face to comfort me as I silently shed tears that were long overdue. She traced my arm with her hand until it touched my face and brushed through my curls. We both knew it was goodbye. I could see it in her eyes. She squeezed my hand before letting go. I kissed her forehead and said a prayer over her before walking away. Neither of us had dry eyes. Goodbyes are never easy or adequate.
Tonight, I started looking through photos I have of her from our wedding until now. Here a few favorites I thought you would enjoy seeing as we celebrate her life today and grieve over her death.

What a beautiful woman. Thanks for sharing these photos.
I will be praying for you and your family during this difficult yet joyous time in your lives. I know it is never easy to say "Good-bye" to a loved one, yet we have the promise of a "Hello again I've missed you" down the road! May God comfort you all as you celebrate this wonderful life that has ended & another life that is being lived joyfully worshipping our Lord at his feet!
