It's Sunday morning 5:15 am,(EST) Jim left for church (yes I know) and I couldn't go back to sleep.  I thought of the song on Ruby's blog so I got up to listen and found Cristin's post. She shared details I hadn't heard and the pictures we weren't in. God's timing is best, His plans perfect. But I still wish I could have been there.  I love Ruby's little picture, but I too look forward to meeting her in Heaven.  To see the light in her eyes, the joy and laughter of a sweet girl who is, as Cristin so said so perfectly, a sinless and wise soul.  She will always be with us and someday she will greet us with those who have gone before us.  Hand in hand I will picture her approaching with my Grandpa, my Dad, skipping along with Grandma...I will keep these pictures in my heart and hold tight to the peace God has given me and our family through this season.  My favorite season of the year, fall, so rich and warm in color, so full of the scents of home and crisp air, Ruby will forever be my "Little Pumpkin" She will forever be a part of my autumns in the future.

I am so grateful for my girls, for the testimony of Cristin and John's life, the compassion of friends, and the grace of God to strengthen and comfort Cristin and John in a way that has touched so many.  Their continued and growing faith has and will forever change lives to further God's Kingdom.  They are amazing and courageous beyond their years as well as mine.  I love you guys so much!!! Thank you for sharing your heart in your post. Momma Nessa
