I wonder if she knew...
I wonder if she knew how much we all loved her... how much we respected her... how much we looked up to her, tiny as she was...
I wonder if she knew how much she enriched our lives... how she drew the best out of us... how she encouraged and inspired us...
I wonder if she was aware of just how much of Jesus shone through her life for all of us to see... or how much He used her to love us... how healing her presence was...
As time unfolds... our eyes will open... retrospect will make things clearer... and we will become even more aware of the impact she had on our lives... but I wonder if she knew...
Or if she just lived her life in the innocense and joy of loving Him and serving Him... unaware of just how much He used her... of how important she was to every one of us...
She was God's second greatest gift to my brother... salvation being first... as my brother was God’s second greatest gift to her...
And I wonder if my brother knows just how much we all love him... how much we respect him... how much we look up to him, baby of the family though he be...
I wonder if he knows how much he enriches our lives... how he draws the best out of us... how he encourages and inspires us...
I wonder if he is aware of just how much Jesus shines through his life for all of us to see... of how much God uses him to love us... of how healing his presence is...
I wonder if he is aware of the impact he has on our lives... or if he just lives his life day to day... loving God and serving Him... unaware of how important he is to every one of us...
I hope he knows we love him... and that we share his joy for the glories that Kim is experiencing right now... and we share, too, his heartbreak for the loss of her physical presence by his side... I hope he knows that our hearts and thoughts and prayers are ever directed toward him... and that there is nothing we wouldn’t do to help him... to encourage him... to uplift him... to strengthen him... even if in our ignorance we don’t know how to express it... or what to offer... I hope he knows he doesn’t carry his grief alone... that we’re here for him... to reminisce with him... to laugh with him... to cry with him... I hope he knows we love him.
