A lost child.
I never know what is going to set off those sad emotions.
Some years cruise on by.
Others knock me to my knees.
Sometimes I think, this year is going to be okay.
Then something happens.
A young man I knew only in passing.
A young man who was known and loved by those that matter to my children.
Taken too soon.
Drowned in a freak accident.
A life that had so much expectation.
I knew my son for such a short time.
But I see the potential of his life in his brother.
I CAN NOT EVEN IMAGINE the pain of this young man's family.
I don't want to seem like I am comparing.
It did bring my sadness bubbling up though.
The comfort of knowing where this young man is, with my son, in the arms of the
One Son.
Comforting, not always soothing though.
I look forward to knowing them both more in the time that is coming.
I hope you do too.
Are you ready?
It can happen in a moment.

What a tragic story. I read Josh's blog on and off for a while and really admired his maturity and eloquence for someone so young. It is a comfort to think that the praises he sang here on earth are now being magnified tenfold by him in Heaven. Many prayers for the Eddy family.
