I went into a store the other day to look around and siting on a random pile of things with no other books in sight was this book tittled "Guess How Much I Miss You" My heart skipped a beat...did i read this correctly? My most favorite book that i read to Grant and Zachary all through my pregnancy's and the book that was read at Zachary's funeral was "Guess How Much I Love You" I grabbed the book off the shelf...looked at the price and it was the only one in the store and it was on sale for four dollars! (originally $22) I was so excited! I cant wait to take this book to the cemetery and read it to my boys! It was a special moment for me, i know the Lord placed it there for me as a special gift..even though it may not seem like something amazing...to me it was a special blessing that i appreciate and that speaks to my heart.
I wanted to share the words of the book with you...keep in mind that it is a children's book with a big bear talking to a baby bear.
"You know that i love you more then words could ever say. But do you know how much i miss you when I'm far away? I miss you more then the flowers would miss the sun. I miss you more than a squirrel would miss his favorite tree. I miss you more then the eagles would miss the chance to fly. I miss you more than a dolphin would miss the sea. I miss you every day that we're apart, but don't feel too blue....because i know that with each day, I'm one day closer to seeing you."
