There's a hole in my heart

One of the most beautiful souls I have ever been blessed to know died last night.

When I woke up this morning, something was terribly wrong. The world should have been darker. The air should have been heavier. Colors and sounds should have been less vibrant. My heart is aching and and I don't know what to say or do about it. I want to soothe the pain of her absense for my family and I don't even know how to do that. I just ache. For me. For them. For a world that is missing something so very sweet, even if you can't tell by looking at it.

This is the song that is on repeat in my head today, it makes me think of her.

Sweet Sweet Spirit

There's a sweet, sweet spirit in this place,
And I know that it's the spirit of the Lord;

Sweet Holy Spirit, Sweet Heavenly Dove,
Stay right here with us Filling us with Your love,
And for these blessings we lift our hearts in praise,
Without a doubt we'll know that we have been revived
When we shall leave this place.

There are sweet expressions on each face
And I know they feel the presence of the Lord.

Sweet Holy Spirit, Sweet Heavenly Dove,
Stay right here with us Filling us with Your love,
And for these blessings we lift our hearts in praise,
Without a doubt we'll know that we have been revived
When we shall leave this place.
