How Could You Have Ever Known? A Letter of GRATITUDE!

How could you have ever known the power of an email?

~ OR DID YOU?

How could you have ever known how much I needed my Brother, your Husband, and all the rest of the family?

~ OR DID YOU?
How could you have ever known that both He and They might just need me too? ~ OR DID YOU?

We hear constantly that GOD works in mysterious ways; He seeks out those who offer up in prayer, “Big Challenges” and then effortlessly places solutions in their hearts. His solution for your prayer was simple yet profound. Most things that come from GOD are….. I remember like it was just yesterday receiving that email…, Your GIFT that just showed up one day in my In-box.

How did you know what to say? How did you know the right words to use that would stir my heart and soul into action and give me the courage to reply back? And then I remembered, GOD has full command of all resources, both words and ANGELS! He chose an ANGEL (You) to re- unite a family in the glory of LOVE. How could you have possibly known that the strength of this LOVE could melt away years of emptiness?

~ OR DID YOU? My Dear Denae-

This letter of GRATITUDE is a testament to your life, your love, your legacy, and the profound difference you made in mine. And, I am just one of so many, many more…. They say it’s impossible for a heart to physically grow in size and that may be true. What cannot be denied though is how one Loving, Caring, Thoughtful, human being can impact the life of another. Your words and actions were the catalyst for my heart to grow in CAPACITY! How could you have ever known that your words would help my heart grow 3X its normal size with just an email?

~ OR DID YOU?

There is no doubt in my mind, or in my heart, that you knew exactly what you were doing. You knew exactly what to say. The words were given to you from above and delivered into my HEART through You and Your LOVE for your husband and your family that you so graciously decided to “SHARE” with me, with US actually! How could you have known that you would have an almost instant connection with my beautiful wife?

~ OR DID YOU?

Could you see into the very fiber of her soul and know just how good she would be for everybody else too? Of course you did, because it was revealed to you, and as the ANGEL you were and still are, you answered the call from above and heeded the words that were placed into your heart and re-united a FAMILY!!! You have given me, us, all of us the greatest gift ever…”LOVE!” For that, I am eternally THANKFUL!! For that, I am eternally GRATEFUL!! How could you have ever known that together, we would find a way to CELEBRATE and HONOR you through our LOVE?

~OR DID YOU?

Of course you did! So, as you look down now upon us my loving GUARDIAN ANGEL, I ask that you deliver that same message of LOVE into the HEART of your husband, that so, over time, eventually, he will understand that you, although departed from this earthly realm, and your earthly body, will always be with us in all that you did, all whom you loved, and all that you were and now are in HEAVEN for all ETERNITY!! Know that you are alive and well in my heart, FOREVER! And also know that I will always LOVE You!! I will honor your gift of LOVE not just with words, but with my actions. I COMMIT today IRREVOCABLY in front of all of you and in the presence of GOD to demonstrate through my actions, my LOVE, your GIFT Denae, to my family, and all of the rest of HUMANITY!!

How could you have ever known? Now we know!! GOD works through ANGELS!!

Fly free Denae, fly FREE!! I LOVE You! We all LOVE You!! Thank You!! Thank You for the gift of YOU, your grace, your spirit, and most of all, Your “GIFT!”

Fly free Denae, fly FREE!! We LOVE You!! We all LOVE You!

My challenge to all of you is this: Embrace GRATITUDE as a way of life…. Start today, start NOW, take the time to reach out and tell someone just how much they mean to YOU!! Write a note, write a letter, send an email…….. Do it TODAY! Thank You!!
