The Light Does Not Forget Them
The silence feels like a betrayal, as if closing your eyes means letting them go. But the light does not sleep, and it does not forget.
In Gethsemane, the light itself fell on its face in the dirt, overwhelmed with sorrow, asking for the cup to pass — yet it did not leave the garden. Your grief is not a sign that you are drifting away.
It is the proof that you are still holding on. The love you carry is stronger than the silence.
You do not have to stay awake to keep them safe. The light sees them even when your eyes are closed.

Matthew 26:38-39, Mark 5:19
