seagoon, that was a nice sermon. you are gifted.
mac, i am still at a loss for words, but i am wishing and praying for all the best for you and your family.
i want you to know that it will get better, but it is going to take alot of time and alot of patience.
a friend of mine lost her husband a few years ago, and then her son took his own life not too long after. (her husband saved her daughter from drowning and succumbed to a heart attack in the process...he died holding her out of the water.)
she was a wreck, but she climbed back out of it and is slowly coming back into focus. it takes time and energy and committment and friends and family who care enough to watch over you.
she went down a destructive path for awhile, but her family refused to let her go. they practiced forgiveness and patience and love and they stuck by her like velcro on a geeks tennis shoes.
you take care of her mother mac.
remind her over the long haul that the sun still rises, the world goes on and that there is beauty everywhere.
it takes a long time. but its possible for all of you.
i dont know what i would do in your shoes...but i am hoping that you are a better man than myself.
good luck and god bless you and your family.
