This past weekend marked a terrible tragedy. We lost my 16 year old nephew Nick in an automobile accident. My sister-in-law Jan & her husband, Bill lost their only son. Tiffany, Katie & Rylie all lost their brother and my kids lost a cousin that was more like a sibling than "just" a cousin.
Lord, please hold this precious family in your hands and bring them comfort in this time when comfort seems so impossible. Please bring them closer together and give them the strength needed to get through these difficult times.
It hurts so much to witness the pain that this kind of loss brings. I only wish that I could do something to ease their sorrow. But, as many before me have sadly found out, only time & God can heal this kind of wound. I wish his death was only a rumor...I wish this was just a bad dream. But, I'm afraid it's not. We all have to figure out how to deal with it.
Oh, to have a magic wand to help them forget all this bad and only feel the good. Oh, to fill their hearts with sunshine instead of this darkness & gloom. Time, oh time, please work your magic quickly.
In memory of William Nicholas Smith
