I saw an SUV with a memorial message custom-printed on the rear window. There were the words, "In loving remembrance of my son, (the name was written), 1986-2008." The months of birth and death were there also.
My breath caught in my throat, because I realized this deceased son was only about 22 years old!
There is an old saying that parents should not have to bury their children; it should be the other way around. I do not know this young man or what happened to him. It could have been sickness, violence, an accident, a war casualty. My heart goes out to his parents, who see his name whenever they look at their vehicle. Maybe it helps them in their healing process.
I pray that God will continue to bless with healing and comfort all of us who have had to say goodbye (for now) to our loved ones.
Peace be,
Sylvia
