Once again, Kristy and I would like to thank you for helping us with the grieving process. Every card, letter, flower and thought are appreciated.
The last couple of days have been a whirlwind. Yesterday, Kristy and I went through a lot of suggestions for scripture and decided upon the following to be read at the ceremony:
Psalms 139:13-18
Ephesians 1:4-11
1 Corinthians 15:35-55 (Parts)
The ceremony worked out beautifully for the girls, with my father, Kristy's father and my little brother performing the entire service. Fortunately, the service was at 10:00AM, so we avoided the rain. All the relatives showed up safely and on time and we returned afterwards to Kristy's parents for some sustenance and support.
Following today's events in the world, we will be praying for my brothers' flights so that they may return home safely. Evan will be returning to Little Rock today and Scott is leaving for Manila on Saturday.
In addition to the poem posted yesterday, the below poem was also read at today's ceremony. Scott's wife, Carrie, wrote and sent it to us the other day and we immediately loved it.
pure and tranquil,
trickle slowly down
the meandering green veins.
The perfect droplets
grow every second
until we can see our own reflections.
One by one they drip
from edge of the leaf
into the quiet sea.
Soft rings of ripples
echo with their memory
evidence that the drops were here.
And though it was not long
their journey was one
of undeniable beauty.
