Bobby is my wife's brother. I read Sara's post tonight followed by the comments. You know, Amanda and I have struggled (as many probably have) with what to say or what to do or how to comfort them. Any words we have wanted to say to comfort or encourage have simply seemed so shallow. What do we know about loss? What do we know about this pain? what do we know about this heartache and suffering? And then a person such as yourself, who has experienced this loss and knows this pain, comes along and comforts in a way that nobody else can because none of us have gone through it. Your words carry great meaning because you know and understand.
As we read your words, we are sorry for your loss as well, and we are thankful for your love and care for Bobby and Sara and Paul. Thanks for writing to them and loving them.
