“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”
it takes a truly strong person to show their beauty through hard times and realize they can go on from such a tradegy and learn to grow. it is so amazing, life is so amazing.
i was reading a story today and this mom had just lost her son in the war. he was 21 years old. she and her family wrote him letters, put them in a bottle and watched as it floated away in the ocean. seven months later, random strangers cleaning up the gulf coast, found these letters...read them and then wrote the mother appreciating everything their son had done for this country. he sacrificed his life for us. although that is amazing in and of itself, the mother is the true point behind this blog.
how hard it must be for a mother to bury a child, no matter the age. but at 21...this is our age! she came from this tradegy a changed woman. how beautiful that she is able to cope with such a loss and grow from this point to helping those other parents who lost a child in war. she took her own story and made it so so many more people are able to learn to grow from such an experience. how beautiful a gift she has given to the world.
