Thanks to you and Allison family for sharing it with us.<br /><br />Becky a few question because you have not talked about it recently<br /><br />1) Does Sarah still use her ear aid (Not sure of the ENglish word the thing she uses for her hearing)<br />2) I remember you mentioned in a entry that you had contacted her doctor about something with symtomps and late effects?<br /><br /><br />Trine :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-55166933928031989232011-02-10T00:19:24.620-05:002011-02-10T00:19:24.620-05:00Thank you SO much for sharing Allison's story,...Thank you SO much for sharing Allison's story, & in such a beautiful way!! My child (the one sitting in Allison's lap on the right side)was blessed to have an angel as a daycare provider for 4+ years. We miss her dearly but we know she is home, pain free & forever at peace w/Jesus. Allison lives on in my daughter, who is 8 years old, by the many life lessons she taught her. My family will always be grateful for the time we had with her. "Miss Allison" was an amazing, loving & caring woman...I could go on & on. I cannot thank you enough for your beautiful story of "Tears By The Sea"!! We miss her SO much but the angel on earth is, now, an angel in heaven.

A...Absolutely, heart-wrenchingly beautiful, Becky. A couple of summers ago, when Adam and I volunteered at the Lighthouse Retreat, there were several baptisms in the ocean. There is such raw power, such a connection with God, there where water meets earth. I told my boy that it was possible that a few drops of water from the time when Jesus walked this earth, from baptisms over the ages... those may have been mingled with the water that washed our friends' sins away. And that water may have come back ashore at Allison's memorial, carrying away the remains of her earthly tent but bringing ashore the promise of eternal life. I know her family will appreciate those photos, as one who shot a military funeral for friends of mine last summer. While it seems strange to photograph a funeral or memorial, it brings great comfort to those left behind. So many comforting things that NEED to be remembered, so many acts of love and remembrance, and prayerfully, a vision of the bridge that will one day connect them forever. What is that saying... that as we stand on this shore tearfully waving "goodbye", there are those on the other who are jumping up and down and shouting "Here she comes... finally home!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-88710077199833747392011-02-09T12:01:30.626-05:002011-02-09T12:01:30.626-05:00Thank you, I feel like I was there through you bea...Thank you, I feel like I was there through you beautiful words and pictures.
