"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven…. A time to kill, a time to heal…A time to mourn, a time to dance…"
Tara looked at the verses in Ecclesiastes one more time. The whole third chapter reminded her of the seasons of life, but these phrases jumped out at her. Standing at his grave side, she knew, it was now a time to heal.
"Hey Bobby. I know you are not here, but it helps to talk. Guess I do yabber a bit, just like you always said." She laughed through the tears. "It is time for me to move on, but I needed to tell you that I will always love you. I guess you are in heaven laughing. I mean, Myles of all people. You two were polar opposites. Maybe that is what makes it so special. I can't compare you two against each other. It is like you fill two different places in my heart. I will always miss you, Bobby, but I know Myles and I can be happy. And Samuel adores him." The tears fell more quickly now. "You wouldn't believe Samuel. He is so big. And he is talking up a storm all the sudden. He runs everywhere he goes." Pausing as the words stuck in her throat, it seemed as if a hand touched her. She was the only one in the cemetery, but it seemed as if someone was there beside her…giving her strength. "Myles wants to adopt him. We have talked to your parents. Myles called them in fact. We want them to be part of his life. And Myles has told him a bunch of stories about you. We won't let him forget you. I will never forget you, and all you gave me. And, I will see you again. Until then…" She let the words drift off as she turned from the grave. Walking to her car, she silently prayed for God to let Bobby have a glimpse from heaven. Hoping he would understand, as she drove to her wedding.
