So many Healing Hugs

I was trying to find a picture that said something about joy that I thought I saw on the Healing Hugs page, but it turns out it wasn't there. In the meantime, I came across a ton of good quotes. Here they are.

You left us without warning.
Not even a goodbye.
And I can't seem to stop
Asking the question, "Why?"
I didn't see this coming,
It hit us by surprise.
And when you left for Heaven,
A small part of me died.
Your smile could brighten anyone's day,
No matter what they were going through.
And every day for the rest of my life,
I'll be missing you.
-Lyn Ragan

When your loved one dies,
You don't get over
Your grief by forgetting,
You get through your grief
by remembering.

Love the people
God gave you
because He will
need them back
one day.

When you believe beyond what your eyes can see.
Signs from above show up to remind you
love never dies.

You're so wonderful to think of,
but so hard to live without.

My mind is still having trouble wrapping itself
around the fact that you're gone.

When your beautiful heart stopped beating, my
heart just broke in a million pieces, knowing
that here on earth, there will never be another
one like you...

You aren't just a memory.
You are not just a story...
You are our beloved,
You are our darling angel,
You are our world,
our light, our everything.
You are an extraordinary soul,
whom we dearly love and
miss every single minute
of our awakened hours.

Anyone can make you smile and cry,
it takes someone special to make
you smile when you already have
tears in your eyes.

Faith is the strength in which a shattered
world shall emerge into the light.
-Helen Keller

It's hard when you miss people.
But, you know, if you miss them,
that means you're lucky.
It means you had someone
special in your life, someone
worth missing.

(About Dad:)
You are going to come across people
in your life who will say all the right words
at all the right times.
But in the end, it's always their actions
you should judge them by. It's actions,
not words, that matter.

I look up at the sky
And I talk to you...
What I wouldn't give
To hear you talk back.

God answers our prayers not because we are good,
but because He is good.  -A.W. Tozer

Mom-
I know you've loved me
as long as I've lived;
but I've loved you
my whole life.
