It's been awhile...
I was also filled with that familiar longing that comes anytime I remember my own brother who passed. Tears filled my eyes as I remembered the night we found out about his passing. The sacred days that followed for our family. And the many birthdays we have celebrated of his...without him.
There are no words to really describe losing a loved one. Things like birthdays tend to set your mind a flare with memories and gentle reminders of them. Today I was grateful I know my friend. I was grateful for her quiet and strong example of faith and of pressing on despite pain, grief, sadness and hardships. And not only pressing on but remembering to still reach out and lift others even in the darkest moments of your own life - because when you do - you will find that God is lifting you.
Till we meet little Will...till me meet...
