When Sarah called on Monday, there was a catch in her voice. "We have bad news" she said, and then a little gasp escaped from her throat. For that two seconds thoughts raced through my mind before she explained that she had lost her uncle Jack, who was very dear to her and her family. We cried together. Nothing can be said to ease the grieving. The suffering and the tearing of death is a thing to be borne by us all. Jesus is grieving along with us, silently bearing our burden. I like this picture of Sarah. I think it captures her robust love of life and relationship, which makes the loss even more painful.
