I have written about my parents from time to time. Among them are stories that I now will, like you, consider as memorial stones. On November 7 this year, I presented the eulogy for my sister Joan, who recently passed from this life. With a stone, I can also mark Joan's crossing and visualize her being freed from the Alzheimer's and 4th stage lung cancer that made her last few years a challenge. We sisters and her daughter had prayed that God would not let Joan suffer long. This same stone can also be an observance of the fact that God hears and answers our prayers. <br /><br />Thanks for this beautiful blog, Connie.Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-68723432421708771242015-11-11T20:58:24.793-07:002015-11-11T20:58:24.793-07:00Thanks Jocelyn.

And I love that God looks at each of us as special, unique, jewels.

The Cut of the diamond, to reflect and refract the true light. I have long been a rock collector. Such beauty and stability in rock foundations, interesting when you add the Y?, they turn into rocky foundations which seems to be the exact opposite, all by adding the why? More poetic ramblings, I suppose!
