I miss him.
I miss being lost in his arms…I fit so perfectly there. When I was in his arms I felt safe, relaxed, loved, secure, where I belonged…it was my favorite place in the world. Everything was better when his arms were wrapped around me. I ache to be there again.
I miss my hand in his.
I miss the beat of his heart.
I miss his dimples.
I miss his laugh.
I miss his touch.
I miss his warmth.
I miss him simply being near.
I just miss him.
Beautiful Things 
Jessica,
May you feel God’s presence now more than ever! Love you!!!
Love you Jess, and continuing to pray.
Jessica….
I will be praying for you….I can hear the longing in your words….God will bring you peace and comfort. Reach deep into yourself and bring out those memories….wrap yourself in some of his clothing and try to sleep.
I keep my sweet hubbys cowboy hat near and sometimes just the smell of the leather helps me feel near him…but our Lord knows and understands our intense longing to be back in their arms….may you feel the Father’s arms.

Praying for you tonight, Jess. That’s beginning to sound redundant, but please know that I mean it with all my heart. Love you!
Praying…sending love…
praying for you, hun… i pray you find rest in the arms of our Father tonight as you sleep… or try to at least. Psalms 62:5-7 has helped me while my husband has been deployed. Bless you, and your kiddos.
hugs and prayers…
I know your sense of longing for that human touch. When my husband Bob died I asked, “Who’s going to hold my hand?” And you know what, God did. I’m sure he’s embracing Josiah in one hand and you and your beloved children in the other.n Hold on tight!
There are no words…you’re living my fears, my nightmares. My tears are before the Father for you.
Jessica,
Thank you for sharing your love story. And for sharing your current love story-God Loving and walking with you on this journey. You have a way of putting feelings into words that I never could about missing my beloved husband. Thank you for opening up your heart and sharing your thoughts and tears with us. It is very healing for you and also a blessing to us readers. We continue to pray for you. Keep taking those deep breaths and cling to our Jesus.
This poem was given to me by another young widow. How true it is…
“At the finest level of my being, you are still with me. We still look at each other at that level beyond sight. We talk and laugh with each other on a level beyond touch. We share time together in a place where time stands still. We are still together on a level called love.
But I cry alone for you……..
in a place called reality.”
Praying for you to feel Great Comforter surrounding you and holding you up.
Jessica, I was reflecting on the memorial service today, and I was thinking of how Josiah was a “faithful” ambassador for Jesus while he was here. I thought how he must have been rejoicing with the angels, when Brent turned his life over to the Lord, as a result of his witness. How thrilling to know that your husband is still winning souls for his Master!!! I am sure that more will follow. Our prayers were with you this weekend as I am sure that the “holiday” seemed very empty for you, but remember that our “true Love” gave His life for us and He will never leave us, and is busy preparing a place for each of us who know Him!! He said that He loved the world, (you and me and everyone else), so much that He gave His one and only Son that if we would simply believe in Him, we would never perish, but live forever!! I am so jealous of Josiah! He knows what living really is now. Continue to focus on our Savior as we all wait for His return. I have become a fan of Sidewalk Prophets and one of their songs is entitled, “You will NEVER leave me”. I trust that these words will encourage you today. We will be praying.
You may find me in the midnight
Fallen down upon my knees
Or riding out another storm
Praying for some peace
Even when I feel alone
Jesus, this I know
You will never leave me
You will always be the one
Who calms the raging sea
You will never leave me
You will always be the one
Who’s holding onto me
You may lead me to the desert
Where I’m empty and afraid
Wandering this nothingness
Thirsting for the rain
I will not give into fear
Cause Lord, I know You’re here
You will never leave me
You will always be the one
Who calms the raging sea
You will never leave me
You will always be the one
Who’s holding onto me
Though my heart is breaking
And my faith is shaking
Standing strong cause I believe
You have promised me, You’ll never leave
You will never leave me
You will always be the one
Who calms the raging sea
You will never leave me
You will always be the one
Who’s holding onto me
Behind the Song:
“You Will Never Leave Me states that no matter where we are and no matter what situation we find ourselves in, God is always there.” – Sidewalk Prophets
Isaiah 40:11 “He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.”
I pray this verse for you constantly friend. We are praying for you today. Love from KC, annie.
Oh, Jess. Praying for you.
What tender memories, Jess. My heart and prayers go out to you.
Keep writing it down. We’re listening and loving and praying. What a wonderful tribute to your husband.
My heart aches for you and your sweet children.
Keeping you in my prayers.
Jess,
I miss all of those things too.
As only his mother can.
It is hard to believe that this side of Heaven
we will continue to miss them.
You as his Dear wife, me as his Mom.
The loss is for a lifetime. Bummer
The Lord God Almighty is aware.
I am thankful for Brent’s testimony.
Our answer to many prayers.
It is all in God’s will & His ways. We sure know that.
I hope to hear more answers to prayer in the future.
I look forward to eternal hugs from my Savior & my son.
I Love you so much Jess, you are ” My Delight” :0)
This must seem like some kind of a dream…I pray and think about you..i loved your valentines day story..If i were close by I would bring you some comfort food and cook you dinner. We are all thinking of you and hope you find some comfort in knowing so many people truly care…Blessings to you and your babies.Give them lots of hugs, it will help soothe your soul…
Jess, I just came from prayer meeting and want you to know the ladies prayed for you and will continue to do so.
It is so hard to be without our husbands but we know God will carry us each step of the way. I pray God’s loving arms around you tonight and as you shed tears He will wipe them away.
Love you much,
Aunt Kate
