[...] My brother who was extremely funny and had the wonderful yet uncanny ability to peg people spot-on, make a quip about their pitiful downfall and surf out on the waves of laughter that usually followed. Well my friends, this day was no different and this sister was a walk in the park for his talent. After riding in the uncomfortable silence he finally quipped, “The Dr. Ruth of the perfume counter, that’s what she is.” [...]

David~ Thanks for stopping by and taking some time to read this. I debated a long time about sharing, but in the end, decided that it really wasn’t about me. It’s about Him, a great God who sacrificed big time to show us what true love is.

I love living in that love.

Blessings my brother!

This story pulls at the strings of my heart, for I have lost a loved one as I’m sure many others who have read this story. Yet its the story in the story that touches me, and that story is Jesus will always be with us, we are never alone. This includes believers and non-believers alike, as is shown Romans 5:8; “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ dies for us.” Hallelujah

Reading this sideswiped me. It’s been 14 years since my 18 year old brother died the same way. Sometimes I think I’ve forgotten him, the way my life has gone on, raising my own munchkins. and then it hits, out of the blue, cleans your clock yet once again, and you realize you are a different person because of your loss and His providence.

Donna–I was never so glad to have life long friends like you. That comforts more than you can imagine. Gifts. The best ones surround us every day and they come in the form of family. Hold tightly to yours, just like you do.

Emily–truely sorry about your loss. You are doing the right thing by holding tight to Jesus. His amazing grace will carry you, I promise.

Bobbi–people are never alone in grief. Never. Only in America do we as humans not slow down to grieve. So take your time to heal and love yourself and the folks around you.

Thanks for sharing gals. May your hearts heal completely.
