The memorial service last night was special. Never have I attended one that ended with a [...]
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 [...]
