THE CIRCLE OF LIFE
Wyatt and his great - great- grandmother-Danny's grandmother.
We have a roaring thunderstorm going on right now, so I may get knocked off line before I get this entry in; but I am going to try anyway. :-)
I have just gotten back from seeing Wyatt! ( You knew this was going to be about Wyatt didn't you??? lol )
I hope you know that for a while this journal will, more than likely, gravitate toward him....Some may say; 'good gosh......everyone has grandchildren that they love...yours is no more special than mine'...and that is rightfully so...
But you know, my feelings have always seemed to run so much deeper than the norm....
I will never be able to explain here, nor on paper, the feelings that flood my heart and soul when I look at this child...It is the type feelings that only one's heart can communicate to another heart....
For when I look down on this tiny little baby that is the child of my child....I am overwhelmed with a love that I have never experienced before...
In his face I can see, not only his daddy and his mama....but also his grandma, his granddaddy, his uncles, and his aunts....
I have learned so many lessons from this wee little babe that is only two weeks old...
Like how, no matter how dark the night may seem...the sun will shine again someday...Maybe not tomorrow or the day after...but someday.
I have learned that even though you have lost the love of your life and you think that life itself is 'not worth a damn anymore'; one day, when you least expect it, God will find a way to prove you wrong.
I have learned that just because you think that there are no more miracles for you in God's plans....that doesn't mean that that is what God thinks.
I look at my grandchild and I see the very continuance of life...I see hope renewed...because although death may have laid claim to my beloved husband's body...
It could not break the circle of life that God saw fit to continue.
Because God in His mercy has given to us, as living proof ....this tiny little person named Wyatt Kelvin Daniel Kitchens....
I have come to know and come to believe what I have seen for myself...
What God had been trying to tell me all along...
It is not ever over....
Life does go on.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

This is the entry 2 1/2 yrs. later from the first time I started telling you about how you would one day heal and how you would feel after the healing began. There will always be times that you feel the sadness and pain of not having Danny but those times will get farther and farther apart and when you do have those feelings they will not stay as long. The pic is priceless. Now you will be able to help others who you will know in the future that will be just as hurt and sad as you were when Danny died. Now that you have experience the pain and began the healing that comes in time you can now share that knowledge that God does heal everyone and as you said so well Life does go on and you will feel happiness and peace at the end of the grieving process. At the end of the grieving process is acceptance, peace and the ability to help others. You my friend have arrived !!! God bless you and your baby.

How beautiful the tribute to your grandson, and I knew that you would feel this way because of how deeply you love when the doors to your heart open, and I knew they would to this tiny babe. He is lucky to have you for a grandma. Gerry
