Remembering Sara Well I don’t know what to say. I wish I could tell you it would be ok. I know Sara is and always will be more to you than just a friend. She is a big part of who you are. The day she came into your life she forever changed what you were to become. That’s what people do; they are all put in our lives for the bad or good they bring. As friends, we make you cry and laugh, throw you hands up in frustration and bring them together in praise. When you think you’ve figured us out, we chang once more. As I said, both good and bad. The key thing is as you move along life’s path with us you grow. Sara has made you laugh, cry and grow. She challenged you all the way and you and her became as you put it, sister and friends. She is and always will be a part of you no matter where life takes you. All you need to do is say her name and she’ll be there laughing and holding you hand through whatever you are going through at the time. Just because she was called home to God doesn’t mean she was taken from you or the people she touched. She’s not in pain nor is she feeling alone. God is holding her in his arms and comforting her. Every day she is walking with Jesus and getting to talk with him and all the hurt the world handed her is gone. She is now and forever perfect in the eyes of God. Never again to be hurt nor feel no one cares. She knows now how much she will be missed by the ones still finishing the mission God has them doing. I know we wanted her to stay longer and only go when we do. God just wanted her home and we will see her when we finish the job he sent us to do. I know she is just waiting to hear all about what we did and how we did. Just like everyone else we lose before we are ready to. God gave you 29 years to meet and get to know Sara and I know you loved every minute. Now you have to share what she gave you with everyone so we all can get to know her as well. Never let anything make you regret the last 29 years no matter how she was called home. God has her now; I don’t believe otherwise. She is just a thought away and always in your heart and mind. As long as you keep her there, she lives inside you forever. That’s what I believe and when God calls you home, she’ll be waiting for you in Heaven. I wish she too had stayed longer with us. I am sorry you are sad but as I said, she is with God. I am sure of that.
