Thoughts

I've had people on my mind today--2 in particular. They are in the middle, or maybe the beginning, of tremendous heartache. The details of their heartache are their's alone and not my story to tell. But, they have been with my thoughts all day. Always there, in the back of my mind.

Isn't it interesting what happens when someone you know is suffering? No matter how tightly or loosely connected, no matter how they are related to you....you just want to ease their pain. You know you can't take it away, but you just want to carry a small part of the weight for them.

We all stand by you, Shane and Carrie. We all stand to try and hold you up as you walk this path. Grief is so complicated, so personal, so messy. The words that everyone offers rarely make you feel better or lift your spirits, but love can. Those who know you are with you and are trying to help lift your heavy hearts.

You have been in my thoughts. All day. We love you and we pray for you.
