Resurrection Sunday 2009

I realized Saturday, that this Sunday is 10 months to the day that Abby passed away. I have been hopeful during this time of celebrating the resurrection of Christ.  Because of Christ's sacrifice there is great hope and faith that our Abby is alive and with our Lord, and I believe that my dad Bennie Stanley is too. I wonder what they are doing right now, I wonder if they know anything about what is happening down here?  I would like to think that they do.  After having lunch with our Hope Group/Bible Study Group Paul, Kaylynn, and I went to get some flowers to take to Abby's gravesite.  We picked out a beautiful bouquet of white daisies and tiger lillies, then I spotted this very beautiful orange butterfly, so we bought that too.  I think of orange as Abby's color because that is the color of bow that the nurse put on her head in the hospital and she looked so beatiful with it on.  So we went to the gravesite for a little bit, it was an absolutely gorgeous afternoon.  It is hard right now to imagine what Abby is doing up in heaven.  There are lots of questions at time, but I am thankful for Christ's death and ressurrection that give me hope that I will one day see her and my dad again!  And one day He's coming back, Oh glorious day!
