we are like grass...

A friend of mine's mother passed away yesterday...

I hurt for him...

But, I can't know how much he hurts and I can't pretend to try.

It's funny how words become empty at a time like this. I am not trying to be mean, but the last few years when I lost my uncle and my grandma, people's words were not all that comforting. Their words would evaporate into thin air as they escaped the person's mouth. No comfort or condolence could come from people.

It was like putting a band-aid on a bullet hole...

Only God was big enough to absorb the pain. I don't know how Jason was able to write during this time, but he explains it so eloquently and its worth a read. Please pray for him and his family as he goes through this time. Thank You.
