More days I sat there and thought of what I was going to write on my friend's card addressed to his family. There were many comforting words, but they just didn't seem to come to mind. What could you say to someone who's son had just died and his birthday was that day? He would have turned 16 ran through my mind, ever since that the thought of his earthly existence vanished. I looked to the Bible to see what God had to say about pain, joy, birth, and strength. That is the exact thing I have to rely on in order for me to get though this happy yet broken hearted day. I wanted to use other words that would describe how I wanted to comfort them and help them through this time of agony. I had no clue where to start off and what to say. What words do you say and what happens if I say too much? I was very concentrated on the perfect thing to say. After all, I was very poetic and bright when it came to writing my feelings. Somehow this time the words just could not come to mind. I don't know if I was feeling more and thinking less, or just at a loss of words. I have always heard of people being at a loss of words, but seeing as how much I talk, I could never imagine that happening! I lost a friend, I didn't really know the family and I wanted them to see how much their son's friendship meant to me, even thought I had known him for little over a year. It is amazing how much someone can touch your heart in a short period of time. I wanted to add all that in the card, but seeing as I still didn't know if that would be acceptable to my judgement, I decided to leave that out. I am sure that his parents showed what my heart really felt. So in the end I wrote... I don't know what else to say except... I have been and always will be praying for your family. |
