Stacy's Garden
|
From Gretchen Anderson
Its February 14, 2004. Its Valentines Day..almost exactly four years since God
took Stacy home. I remember how I felt the day I found out, the day of the
funeral..and after all this time, I sit in my college dorm room and think about
Valentines day, and look at my shelf of candles picture frames and remember
Stacy . I don't even know what to say other than, its been four years and there
has hardly been a day when I havn't thought about her, and how the memories
never died, and never will, its the first friends you have, that last forever.
I cry as I write this, only because a part of me wishes this was still not real,
that I could rewind life four years and talk to her again, but I know that she's
in Heaven, and there is no better place, nowhere on Earth. I still remember
hugging Michelle at the wake for Stacy, and will never forget that she told me
stacy would always be watching me, because I know she is. I had a dream almost
a month ago, and it was about Stacy, and she was moving into my dorm, and she
looked at me and said " You wanted me to live with you, right?" and of course I
said yes..and she looked at me in my dream, and said, " I've always lived with
you." I am not lying and it was then, that I was satisfied in knowing that God
has her in his palm and that she does live with me, inside my heart. I can
finally smile when I see old pictures of us. Just know Stacy is always around
all of us, and its been four years, and I have not forgotten her, and I never
will. Nobody could forget her. To Stacy's parents- Thank you for sharing Stacy,
your amazing accomplishment with the world, she is always with you. |
