And so to you, goodbye.......
As the last words were said and the last rose was placed onto Taylor’s final resting place, the sun shone brightly and the cloudless blue sky looked nowhere near rain.
~
‘And as your journey of faith takes you down many paths, the light of the Lord will guide the way.’
Sunlight filtered onto the crowd of people gathered.
Soft, warm sunlight.
Hands clasped, tears flowed, hearts poured out.
But somewhere in all the pain and mourning, somewhere in all the misery, there was hope.
A small ray of hope.
Small but growing.
And as the Hanson family walked away from that day, with the blue, blue sky and the warm sunlight, Ike knew it was not the end.
It was simply another beginning.
Taylor wasn’t gone, he was simply on hold.
Until they met again.
And the stars would go on shining.
