Throughout her life, Jessica longed for adventure. She was up in the morning at the break of dawn, sometimes singing, sometimes humming, and even at other times calling out for something to warm her belly before heading out to who knows where life will take her that day.
Reading the King James Bible, the book of Ezekiel, chapter 47, verse 9 "Where the river flows everything will live." When my daughter Jessica, my son Ricci, and my daughter Jayna were young, little, and sportsworthy, I would pack them up early in the morning with our fishing gear in hand, and jump into our jeep heading for where the river flows.
I can remember how the morning sun looked when it hit the water, and I'd catch a glimmer of Jessica's reflection enjoying the glow of the rising sun as it dances on the rippling waters, the summer breeze tickling her face, and the peace that invades my child. I have plenty of joy in my heart for her.
Although she is not here with me, I have many joyful memories of her.
I am reminded of another scripture from the bible: Psalm 16:11, "In your presence is fullness of joy." God fills my heart with joy and happiness.
I thank my God Almighty for the "fullness of joy."
Happy mother's mom
Today is Jessica's earthly birthday. Jessica would have been 39 years old. She would have wanted to celebrate this day cruising down bayfront and swimming at the beach with her family. We would always spend her day like this. I love and miss her so fervently. God willing, I will soon see her again.
