Burying children

Last night, Adrian's life was celebrated. Crowds filled every corner of the funeral home. the parking lot was filled beyond capacity. The pain was palpable.

You should never have to attend the funeral of a 17y/o you know. This was my third.

The service was full of love. And when Aaron spoke of his sweet brother, all of us cried together... His pain shared with all of us, his loss was our loss.

One of the men who spoke shared a profound thought: Why do we worry that Jesus won't forgive us our past- He died on the cross before we had one...

I hugged Liz as she cried. What a hard thing for a child to endure!

Tomorrow night they are holding a fundraiser to help the family deal with all the expenses involved.

I will continue to pray for Adrian's family
