I NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE NO! NO! NO!

So, I haven't gotten to say farewell to my fine feathered sister (she is very much a peacock in so many ways!) Our time together was so very bittersweet. I cherish some moments we had, and despise others! And those dreaded words "GOOD BYE", oh how could I let them seep from my tongue?!

I felt as if I was letting go of my birth child. Allowing her to wander out into that busy, unforgiving world, where most would ignore her, or treat her as if she were not human. I had full trust that "Mother Hen", would do an exceptional job caring for her. But since the system that's supposed to help and protect the poor and different-abled didn't work well here, then why would I, should I, trust that same system in Utah?

And God?! Well He's the one that allowed all of this to happen. What was He thinking?!

Trust at the stage of the game was hard to come by. But then, I had to realize, Mer is a survivor and God had brought her through the deep Red Sea. "Why Peggy?!" he asked, and then answered in not so many words. He said, "I love Merrym and I trust her SO MUCH that I have CHOSEN Mer to be an extreme example to those who come in contact with her." Wow! That's some trust He has in Mer!

So now was my time to "LET GO AND LET GOD!"

Saying goodbye brought tears of joy to all of us.
Keeping in touch would be slightly difficult, remember, no cell phones, no FB, no E-mail, no faxes. Long distant phone plans didn't really exist and there was little money for traveling on both ends.

I did know though, that God was good! He healed my sister! He healed my son! And He does answer prayer!

What he trusts in is fragile; what he relies on is a spider's web.
Job 8:14

Love you Mer
