Linda Mims McCoy says
Dear Cheryl;
Only faith in God and time well spent in fellowship with Him can heal the wounds of losses.
Each loss represents a different expression of mourning. The degree to which you mourn is governed by the depths of your loss, or how hard you take that loss and how long you desire to mourn.
I don’t know your degree of loss, nor do I know the degree of your relationship with you father.
If you missed an opportunity with him, make it up with time well spent with your family and friends. Embrace each moment and each day as if its a step into eternity, because essentially, it is.
Finally, cast your care upon Jesus, because he cares for you.
You’re in my prayers and may God supernaturally heal your heart, in Jesus’ Name!
So Be It! Amen!
Prayerfully,
The McCoy Family,
Johnny, Linda & Jonathan
