Agnes,

You have rubbed off on me. Now, just the thought of rain eases my mind. I don't understand why I hadn't noticed the beauty in it before. Growing up in near poverty as a kid, my mom always told me that it's raining because God is upset. But I now know that's not the case. Instead, it's God's reminder. A reminder that the earth has music for those who listen. A reminder that it's not worth waiting for the storm to pass, instead to learn how to dance in the rain. You once said, "Some people feel the rain, while others just get wet."
I love you, Agnes. Please wake up. I never stopped praying for a miracle.
