No heart breaks alone, for God is always near, and when a prayer is whispered, He's always there to hear... When sorrow's overwhelming, He comforts tenderly, for not a single tear will fall that the Father doesn't see. May you always remember that god loves you. He feels your pain and heartache and He will never leave you or forsake you. May you find comfort in knowing God Sees Every Tear. God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. -Revelation 21:3-4 Most Sincerely Leslie
