Jack's Prayer



Today I will let go
and trust in
Jesus,
myself,
and tomorrow

Armed with faith
hope and love
I will do
impossible things
boldly

Rene ~ March 2013

In Memory of Jack Donaldson

I just noticed that "Jack's Prayer" is my 333rd post :)

    often it is in the letting go
    that we are able to do those great things...

    Awww, Rene. Went there. Read it. For cryin' out loud, how absolutely horrible. Poor Jack. Poor Anna.

    So well written -- and closer than I can imagine getting...

      I have never met Anna or her son, Jack but Something about that kid inspires me on a daily basis.
      Really.
      There is no quitting or dogging that last quarter mile when he's in my head.

    Wow. After reading In Memory of Jack, I am also moved by Jack's Prayer. Amen for us all.

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
