We received the call that Samuel's headstone had arrived and the boy's plot was now ready for viewing. We are heading out of town on vacation this weekend and wanted to see it before we left, so we headed to the cemetery Thursday evening trying to beat the setting sun. They are together in the same plot. Merely a comfort to us here on Earth even though we know they are not in the ground. They are together in Heaven too, which is more important and hope-giving.
Uhhh...my baby boys, my sweet babies. My eyes are welling up with tears knowing I missed the baby years with these little guys, the absence of birthday parties and holiday celebrations, missed out on their weddings, on being grandparents to their children. Next time I see them, they will look completely different. Will I feel like I missed out then? Amazingly, the answer is no.

Crazy and mindboggling- easier for the soul to understand than the mind. Though "easier" is not the right word.
What I mean is this: My soul sees it but my mind does not.
