Dear God,

How do we let go of loved ones who are dying? How do we say our goodbyes without breaking the thread that has held us together?

My friend's stepson is dying of cancer. He's so young, just married, no children and now no earthly future. I can't imagine the process of their surrender.

Bind them together,
Lord,
bind them together
for eternity.
Give them
a vision
of loveliness,
an eternal connection
that will
hold them together
even here
on earth.
Grant them time,
Gracious Redeemer,
time to live
a little longer,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
