Timely. I just learned of a young couple who are experiencing this grief and shared this with them in hope that it will provide them comfort. Thank you!

This was my favorite line:

“I shorten it, can’t breathe long enough

to say it through.

That’s it, isn’t it? Sometimes that’s all we can muster but he knows what we need before we pray. Thanks for this!

Thanks, Bobby. And, yes! Sometimes there just isn't energy for more words than that. <3
