To my dearest brother-in-Christ

Words are difficult in the light of your enormous loss.

We hold you close to us in our thoughts and prayers.

There will come a day
when your tears of sorrow
will softly flow into tears of remembrance...
and your heart will begin to heal itself...
and grieving will be interrupted by episodes of joy...
and you will hear the whisper of hope.

There will come a day
when you will welcome the tears of remembrance...
as a sunshower of the soul...
a turning of the tide...
a promise of peace.

There will come a day
when you will risk loving...
go on believing...
and treasure the tears of remembering.

You are not alone… you are in the company of many caring hearts.

In His grace. Amen.
