To those who have spent the past few days praying for Andrew and his family – Thank You.
We lost him on this Earth.
His body was beyond repair.
He has met Jesus, face-to-face.
I wonder what Father God knew that we didn’t….
In just a few hours time –
I witnessed Hope turn into reality of the worst-case-scenario.
I witnessed a husband hold his wife as they grieved together at their son’s bedside.
I held a grandmother as she cried; her grandson whom she had cared for since birth. “Why couldn’t it be me?!”
As any loving grandmother would have cried out.
I listened as an older brother gasped through his tears, “He’s with Jesus! Andrew will be with Jesus!”
I witnessed a Doctor sob and apologize to a mother and father because he could not fix their son, or give him back to them. This doctor, placing his forehead on Andrew’s -kissing him; a broken heart exposed from the flesh.
I gained a whole new compassion for Doctors and their daily calling.
I watched a father give grace and gratitude as he held that Doctor in his arms. “You gave me 6 great years with my son. Thank you.”
A mother sitting at her son’s bedside, eyes barely open from physical and emotional exhaustion of the past 10 days and 24 hours.
For the first time, I walked a road of unbearable grief.
Continued prayers over our friends – Jer + Beth and family.
Go Rest High, little buddy. ❤️
