On the roof my mind would get lost in thought among
with the loving company of the stars all around me.
I see you-you's moon shinning brightly as it always does,
like I wish I could. The spot on the roof where I would eat
dinner, where I would take naps, where I would watch kids
walk to school, where angela and I would pray, question,
and feel safe.
Last night I went star gazing with some of my dear friends
from school and it was hard to be present with them. I found
myself wishing that I could become a star so I could gaze down
on my kids, so I could hear the nannys sing the kids to sleep.
It was very frustrating yet comforting to be laying under the same
stars that they were. I wish I was there. I wish that I could lay
down beside zeff and jonas to be with them till they fall asleep.
tonight my heart is with you as it often is. sleep well my dear
little ones and my angela find peace and rest.

Oh the memories...
It's good to have you here, Megan, whether this is your home or not.
It's weighed on me not ensuring time to sit/talk/sip. I hope tomorrow makes time for this, but either which way, peace boss.
Megan - I am Papa Todd - Jonas's Papa. Thank you for sharing this! There is not a stary night that comes that doesn't take me back to the nights in Haiti. My spot as on the roof at St Josephs. How brilliant and amazing they are. Kristina and my oldest Jessica are in Haiti this week and I have really been missing them, and my baby boy. Thank you for sharing your heart and blessing mine!
You know Zeff and Jonas will both be here in Evansville so you will have to come visit once they both come home. Blseeings and Prayers filled with lots of Haiti stars!!
oh megan! my moon is amazing tonight and it is so assuring to know that it shines on us all! our God is a great big God and He can comfort us at all times. remember to look for His faithfulness in the moon which shines even when the world is bleak and grey. even when children don't have homes and those who do are sent out. what a sad world but what a great God!
