a heavy heart
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2008 4:46 am
Just to let all my friends and really ...family... here on the boards know, my life has taken some radical changes this year. I haven't been able to participate as much as i would like because of opening an office downtown and all the additional hours it has taken in getting it running smoothly.
Unfortunately, that has been the easy part. On Monday, my oldest brother took his own life. We had no clue it was coming. He moved back here at home with me and my Mom some time back, and his being here is a lot of what allowed me to finally move my office from the house. Now I am not sure where things will go in that regard, but for now, that isn't important.
Today is the memorial service for him and I would appreciate your prayers for me and my family. So many of you have been very close to me, whether we have actually met or just conversing via this site or email that I thought it important enough to include you in my struggles. I have a strong faith in Jesus Christ, and whether you share that faith or not, I covet your prayers and support. We will be okay because my God is compassionate in His grace to see us through even the darkest of times in our lives. May he bless you all.
