Widow #6

My sister Mary was the last to join our group.  She has suffered a little more and different grief than the rest of us.  She became a widow December 19, 2009. Her husband Jerry died after a long battle with stomach cancer. 
In August of 2004 she lost her youngest son. After spending over 5 months at the University Medical Center both day and night helping take care of Jerry, she took him home where he died not quite 2 months later. She too was a young widow and made the decision she would rather celebrate life than succumb to sorrow.  Her first trip was with us to Ft. Collins and it didn't ake her long to become a Widow gone wild.  At least as wild as we seem to be.

It amazes me how God has shown us, there are so many women (face it, it's a fact.  We women definitely are outliving our male counterparts!) out there who do not know how to live after they have lost their husbands.  A customer where I work called the other day and 2 years later was still having trouble finding a reason to live.  She had attempted suicide.  God has put us each hear for "Such a time as this", to show love to each other.  To help those who are struggling to find a purposr.  To laugh when it seems there is no reason.  To dance when we feel like crying and to love when you can't imagine how.   
Life is about living it to the fullest.  Look for the rainbow after the rain.  God keeps his promises, just like this rainbow.  2 full rainbows accross the eastern sky ..........There is a God.
