This has been extremely traumatic for him...but not without it's purpose. Every life, whether we live to a ripe old age, or whether we are called home way too early like your sweet Rhema, every life has a purpose beyond what we can begin to understand or imagine from our finite minds. There is so much more going on in and around us than the human eye can see or our minds can fathom. But I know one thing for certain, whether we understand it or believe it, God IS in control. His ways are higher than our ways...and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8-9) I comfort myself with those thoughts when I think about my son Matt, who has DSRCT, and your Rhema, and now my son Scott who is grieving over this trauma and trying to figure out why his life was spared and the other man's was not. It all comes back to TRUST...trusting the One Who died for me that I might live.<br />You are in my prayers as you continue to walk in this journey of grief and sorrow. May the Lord continue to wrap His loving arms around you and comfort you and most of all CARRY you in the days ahead, and give you the strength to stand again. Amen.Pamela M.

This man, this unknown man who lost his life alongside the road will be in my thoughts. I pray his family finds peace and comfort. I know how hard that is to find!Kirsten Butlerhttp://www.momcologist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-58238578632720556962011-07-27T21:14:48.311-04:002011-07-27T21:14:48.311-04:00Dear Debbie, I know you know that road oh too well...Dear Debbie, I know you know that road oh too well...and thankfully your story has a happy ending as well...but such a terribly close call.
