When Rachel died, we received this cancer poem in many forms from many people. It's such wonderful words to describe what cancer can't take away!
Rachel use to put her little hands on each side of our face, look us square in the eyes and say..."Don't worry...everything will be ok." Bless her heart.....we always worried how to talk to the other children through our tears........well, we needn't have worried......Rachel talked to them all the time and explained things in her childlike way as they were playing..........And for weeks before she died.......there were angels present. In the house.....10 of them......they never left.......and Rachel spoke with them, confided in them and shared with us about them daily. We felt their presence..........and the things Rachel said......well, they were definately things that came from something higher.......not a young 7 year old. Rachel died once when she was 4.....but was revived......and she always made comments about what a nice place Jesus has.......and how nice God was. she said that heaven was a real nice place! We have no doubt that all she experienced, all she saw, all she heard and all she spoke.......was very, very real!
And cancer has not been able to take all of those things away......our faith and our hope.
Thanks for sharing it Nancy.......
