I received some very sad news about an acquaintance this evening. A Maryland family, living not far from me, lost a young son today--taken from this life prematurely as the result of a malignant brain tumor.
My heart goes out to this family. Their story has touched me in ways they cannot know; their strength and love and faith continue to serve as inspiration to me. Though they knew that the end was near, no self-pity was apparent. They worked with a single-minded purpose--to make this child's waning moments here on Earth sweet and tender and painfree. It appears that they were successful, mercifully.
Please say a prayer for this family, as they surely have many sorrow-filled days to come.
And don't forget to hug your children tight tonight...
