Rainbow's Promise

On the Friday that you were moved to the hospice floor, it rained. Big surprise for summer in FL.

As I left work (short days on Friday in the summer) I asked God for a sign that you were going to be okay. I looked over my shoulder, and there was a piece of a rainbow in the sky, among the dark clouds. I smiled, and my heart felt lighter. When I turned around again, it was gone. but that moment gave me hope and I knew God heard my prayer.

One day this week, as I was leaving for work, I saw another raindbow, completely unexpected, and it lifted my spirits, gave me hope for the day, and I smiled, and I thougth of you.

I know you hated when I called you "Sunshine" but you know what, John? God is still using you to bring joy - and sunshine - into our dark days.

There is such comfort that you are with such an awesome heavenly Father. I know there is no one else that could love you even more than your Dad here, except That One.

We'll see you again, Sunshine :)
