I've been away and meant to post the lovely photos taken during my travels. But I came home and heard that my friends lost a son. He was only twenty-four. I couldn't bear to attend the funeral today. I've seen too many young ones going before me. I have seen the sorrow many times over and still don't know how to deal with it.
I can't tell them that the pain will go away. I can't tell them that time will heal the sorrow. I can't tell them that their son is in a happier place. I can't tell his siblings that their brother will be okay.
I said a prayer for the family. For the parents - people I have known for decades - that they may find the strength to live on for their other children and each other.
I said a prayer for me. That even having lost so many family and friends, I will find strength and courage in facing the pains.
Goodbye, Andrew.
Eyes the shady night has shut.
