He was and is such an inspiration. It is ironic to think that we wouldn't have been inspired if it weren't for the incredible trials. And it is hard to feel, like you said, that there is so very little we can do to help and thank them.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08113053674470219512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906866639508776624.post-33770175040901909332010-01-05T17:56:49.881-07:002010-01-05T17:56:49.881-07:00Sixteen years is not enough time.

I am so sorry for his poor parents. <br />I have heard that the hardest time for those left behind happens a few weeks after the funeral of a lost loved one. When all the company goes home, their absence is truly felt. <br />We will keep them in our prayers. <br /><br /><br />I posted my first few days of pictures if you want to stop by.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05595662315298187954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906866639508776624.post-11045793836532675132010-01-05T14:24:02.313-07:002010-01-05T14:24:02.313-07:00What an amazing concept.
