in memory of Aaron Havenga (April 2, 1975 ~ November 20, 1994)
The long pain of grief
cannot be ignored,
but after twenty-nine years,
it can be absorbed;
endured by a gracious heart
and a long life of gratitude
for continued blessings
down this long road
I did not choose.
I no longer wander around
like a lost child, but
walk forward firmly in faith,
powered by a brave heart.

ReplyDeleteWe share loving memories with you of Aaron . Thinking of you both on the anniversary of his death. We were blessed to know him through you and Mary and through Patrick. Enjoy your time in FL playing Pickleball and the warmer temps. It was great to see you both at the Fine Arts Center last week. Much love and prayers. Kathy and Kevin Ecclesine ๐๐๐
