Sunday, August 21st, 2005[Originally drafted August 9.] Last week and weekend were emotionally grueling. Wednesday, Nonna was sent home with bad news. Thursday, a dear friend had a miscarriage, and on Friday, Caleb was killed in a tragic car accident [8/3-5]. I left Baltimore Monday evening around 5 to return to New York. Exhausted, I pulled into a [...]

Divinely inspired
Friday, August 19th, 2005At Nonna’s memorial service, Boom2 read the following testimony that Nonna had written in the 1970s. It reminded me again how inextricably linked Diana and I and our families are from before either of us were born. Nonna had shared it many times with me over the years, but hearing it recounted last night was [...]
It is finished
Friday, August 19th, 2005The rites associated with mourning the loss of a loved one ended today with Nonna’s burial at Oceanview Cemetary on Staten Island, in a plot 150 yards or so away from her father Joseph Ingarra and her husband Richard. The memorial service last night was special. Never have I attended one that ended with a [...]
More than
Thursday, August 18th, 2005We’ve been counting down the days to August 16, five-year-old Samuel Carrasco’s last day of major chemo. It’s been over a year since his leukemia diagnosis last summer, and Judah has prayed for him nearly every day since we first got the news. On August 17th, Sam’s fatigued little body needed a blood transfusion. The [...]
I needed this
Wednesday, August 17th, 2005Yesterday, two thank you cards arrived at my office from our California interns, one for Judah and one for me — at just the right time to offer an encouraging word. This proud papa can’t resist sharing with the blogosphere the one to Judah. (The one to me, I’ll keep private for now. Excerpts may [...]
Four year olds grieve too
Wednesday, August 17th, 2005Judah gets it. Death, that is. The last two weeks have been hard on him. When I told him about Caleb, he got pensive and said, “I’m sad because Caleb won’t be able to see his parents anymore.” A promise that Caleb could see them from heaven satisfied him for the moment. Then last week [...]

Thanks, Ramon and Abby
Tuesday, August 16th, 2005Two more heros in my book (for whatever that’s worth) are Ramon and Abby Trevino. They’re youth pastors in York, PA, who’ve been involved with Chain Reaction there the last two years. They planned to come to New York this year and arrived as promised Sunday night ready to flex following Caleb’s tragedy (and the [...]
Thanks, Fred
Tuesday, August 16th, 2005Why am I blogging this morning? I can’t get back to sleep after coffee with Fred Lynch on the drive to the airport for his 9 am flight; and I can’t concentrate on one subject long enough to write my September article; and, mostly, because the posts below were cathartic. Fred did a youth camp [...]
