Space

who can take its measurement? who fill it up?

who would think

when all the toys are boxed

the treasures of one person in a many-person household

one person

down to the last shoelace

the blue jeans, size six

the shirts with dinosaurs and cars

the little folded socks

the bicycle –

when all is found and packed and sent along to his people

the last hugs given quickly

with smiles

in the winter rain –

who would think

the hole left behind in this busy, noisy place

could be so big?

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. You are a candle to this child. He will not forget you. He will continue to need your light. And you, my dear friend, shine so brightly.

May the love and stability you gave him, hold him together in his new home. May he be treasured and understood there. May you find peace and healing in the assurance that you have done what you could do. And may God hold you all in the palm of His hand.

On Sunday, Ryan asked for prayer for your family. It made me cry. You love so large but it hurts so much.
