This song really speaks for itself.
…No more pain…
…Dreams that last forever…
…Unending rest for the weary soul…
There’s another Crabb Family song that Ryma always really liked, but I discovered this one after she passed. I couldn’t listen to it much because it really wrecked me at the time.
It’s not easy to watch your best friend, your lover, and the mother of your children feeling her final pain, drawing those last breaths. But there is comfort in knowing that she’s home now.
She’s been in that better place for about the same length of time that we knew she had cancer. Sometimes that time seems a lifetime ago, at other times like yesterday.
I don’t believe she measures time the same way anymore, and I’ve been glad she’s out of pain for a long time now. Today is just one of those yesterday days.
