Thanks Bruce for the idea.
Tonight I cut a single rose from our garden, put it in a vase and placed it next to a picture of Jackie I have here on the counter. No, it’s not a shrine. But it did give me a lot of pleasure to express my love in this way.
As time goes on, I know I will find other ways to express my love for Jackie. I have found some already. Loving her daughters and her grandchildren and the people she cared about and doing some of the things she and I talked about doing for others. All of these are ways I can express this abundance of love for Jackie that I have in my heart. Loving her Lord even more, honoring her by taking care of myself. Maybe even writing a note or getting a card for her if I feel the need. I am encouraged I can find ways to love her until I get to be with her again.
