One Year Ago
How can it be, a year has gone by, since the saddest day of my life.
The imminent news that we'd soon say goodbye to our friend, and mother, and wife.
Nothing can describe the heartache,
No words can explain the fear,
At the idea that we'd have to go on
living our lives without her here.
But the Lord stepped in since our lives unraveled,
and supplied us with comfort abound.
He is the giver of my renewed faith,
and this puzzling peace that I've found.
I will miss her each day, and long for her voice
Till the day I'm reunited with her.
But I rest on the knowledge that she knows no pain,
and is basking in all she deserves.

I am an acquaintance of Greg's through running and followed your mother's illness daily.
It doesn't seem like a year has gone by since she has gone to be with the Lord- but as our pastor said this week as he was telling of his cousin that has terminal cancer- the ultimate healing is when we go to be with Him.
Continued prayers for you, Greg, and the rest of your family Becky.
My Condolances to The Castady family for their loss. I lost my mother lavinia Castady to cancer also. I stumbled across this sight as I picked up the rare last name in a google search. The pain does go away eventually but I still remember the feelings of loss and my heart goes out to you all.
God Bless!
From your New Zealand cousin.
