This week, we received some terrible news. The six-year old grandson of a dear friend died suddenly. The little one had an underlying health issue, apparently caught a bug, and had to be hospitalized. With medical care, he got better, and everyone thought that he was past the worst of it when he collapsed and died without warning.
Please, pray for this beautiful family. In addition to the little boy, they have two daughters. I can't imagine what the parents are going through. His grandmother, my friend, is stricken. I have never in my life seen anyone so utterly consumed with grief. It breaks our hearts all over again to see her this way.
Finally, if you could, please say a prayer for our family. In the past few years we've had so many serious illnesses and deaths in our circle of friends and family; we've honestly lost all count. There are days I've hesitated to pick up when the phone rings, just not wanting to hear any more bad news. I know that is not the right response; that we are never given more than we can bear. I pray for strength and peace, so that we may comfort and help others as God intends.
Dreadful. May the little one rest in peace. Prayers for the family.
My prayers are with the family
