Longing for...

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. Revelation 21:4

Mothers day, for many it will be a great day and for others a huge pain will weigh heavily on their hearts. I am specially thinking of my Aunt Elvira who lives in Minnesota and whose youngest child her beloved daughter is on her last days of life.

Carolyn at the start of her teens was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis a condition where many tumors just grow throughout the body with the biggest fear being that one day they will become cancerous. Carolyn has had many surgeries and some benign others were found to carry cancer and now being 21 the fight is almost over.

My heart breaks for all of her family and the pain and sickness she feels right now. My uncle has recently lost his sister(my cousin also) to cancer, she was in her fortys.

For my aunt its a bitter sweet Mothers day knowing it will be the last shared with her daughter on this earth, all the while wanting to erase her daughters plight. Carolyn has 2 brothers who love her dearly and the pain they feel these days could never be underestimated.

As tears stream down my face, I can't help but state that this world is a harsh and makes me long for Heaven where there will be no more tears. Oh, how I long for that...
