FROM OUR BELOVED DOROTHY

Christine

I cannot imagine the pain you are experiencing right now, but know that I am thinking of you and praying that you will find some peace and comfort.

Please do not focus on any guilt or regret. You loved Leo as only his mother could. God gave him to you and no one else. Believe that Leo knew how much you loved him and he knew that you did your very best to be the mother he needed. We all make mistakes – but that is part of being human in this world. Because of your family and friends, Leo’s life was filled with people who loved him and cared about him, no matter what. Unconditional love is very hard to give, and only Jesus is fully capable of this, but we must continue to try. I know that you tried to love Leo unconditionally as did all of the family. Know that he felt that love and was protected by it during his entire life. We can’t protect our children from all pain and disappointment no matter how hard we try. Chris, let God and your family and friends love you and help you get through this. We are both blessed to have family and friends that love us and are there for us. Don’t push them away, but let them be there for you now.

Psalm 91
Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
