Life.....so fragile, Loss....so sudden, Heart....so broken,... in the wake of such a loss,
we are haunted by things we don’t, and
may never, understand.
Yet the solace we seek may not come from
answers. So we look for comfort in the
belief of love's everlasting connection.
May that love lift you and hold you close, and give you peace.

Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the peace officer. "There's a leak," she pronounced to the Lord. "I told you that you were trying to
put too much into this model."
"That's not a leak," said the Lord, "it's a tear."
"What's the tear for?" asked the angel.
"It's for bottled-up emotions, for fallen comrades, for commitment to that funny piece of cloth called the American flag, for justice."
"You're a genius," said the angel.
The Lord looked somber. "I didn't put it there," he said.
