May 13 - Anniversary

One year ago, Deb and I watched as Randy and Rebecca had to make a gut wrenching decision concerning little Hollis. Randy consulted with his parents, his siblings, his closest friends then took it to the Lord. With tears in his eyes, he announced what the answer was. For me it was hard because parents are not supposed to have to bury their children. I had no level of experience to comfort Randy and Rebecca. At the last, all of Randy's siblings were there, their Bishop and the Baptist pastor were there, and their closest friends. We all stayed there until 4am in the morning. It was a long night but all in all it demonstrated to me that family is the proper and strongest organization to comfort the grieving and help succor the feeble knees of those who are struggling with life.
