I don't want to shock you... but here I sit, ready to write. I know it's been a while -especially if you don't count the Colossians posts (which you totally should, of course!) In fact, the last FMF post that was written in this space was all about taking two steps forward, and one step back and included a prayer request for my sweet sister and her Jackson. It's been a week ago today that he took one step forward into eternity... and we took several steps back, grounded here without him. But --we'll get to that in a moment...
This is a Five Minute Friday post... which simply means I set a timer and free-write for five minutes flat on the one-word prompt: DEEP... so let's go and let's see what spills out, shall we?
{GO!}
I got the call.
I have been telling my oldest sister that all she needed to do was call me
and I could get to her in 2-1/2 hours!
She called last Thursday with no words really to be said.
It was the call we all dreaded and refused to see coming...
the call saying, 'If you want to come to say goodbye
-now is the time.'
Only we didn't want to... We didn't want to say goodbye...
