There were many painful, sleepless nights after the loss of my beloved Rudy. In those waking hours, as mournful thoughts arose, I found some solace in transferring those feelings that came from my heart to my head to a pen and paper.

"When God the great creator,
Saw there was a need,
He took a measure of His love,
And formed a tiny seed."
The tiny seed is a symbol of our humanity given with His love. He made us all different. In my life, I have been mad at Him, forgotten Him, disobeyed Him and still He has never left me.
I pray you find your savior. It is simple, all you have to do is call His name.
