Sunday was a precious day as we remembered John Rudy and his beautiful life. He made a mark on so many with his infectious smile and rolling belly laugh. He was gracious, kind, stubborn, and such a deep thinker. All these things made John Rudy so very special. As a mom with with 4 blonde babies with blue/green eyes, Rudy was my brown eyed boy(my eyes are brown).I always wanted a child with brown eyes and oh how I loved to look into those beautiful big brown eyes of his. I’m not sure how to live life without him...how to go on, but God graciously gave Rudy to us and it has been such a faith journey. So, really, what else is there to do but continue in faith knowing that God finished his story well and he is no longer in pain, no longer has a right hand and foot that doesn’t work due to a stroke at the age of 10. No longer does he carry the burdens of this life. He is free and healed and has no more tears or fears. How can his “Ma” be angry with God for that. But oh how my heart aches at the thought of not seeing him this side of heaven. Too hard to grasp at the moment. I will choose to cling to His promises and look forward to that day when I will see my precious Rudy again. I can’t wait to look into those brown eyes again and hear all about it!
