Well, our friend died last Friday night. I’ve not written sooner because it caused so many new thoughts and emotions. I felt guilty because my first feeling was relief that it was over. Gregg has left a wife and two young sons (17 and 14) — they need a Dad and Husband – a healthy one too. But then I remember we all had about 11 years of Gregg that we might never have gotten if the Lord hadn’t done a work in him. And, what a work He did.

I wonder if my own loss would have been easier if there had been some lingering or if I would have only built up foolish hopes and hurts. While it is so easy to trace the way God’s Sovreign purposes worked in Gregg’s situation – postponing his death for several years – when I look at Josh’s short life – I don’t see it. I will probably never understand why God gave us Josh after 14 years of infertility to only take him away at such a young age.

  1. Big hugs! Thanks for posting. I was wondering about Gregg. I will continue to pray for his family this week. And for you.

  2. I am new and not really sure how this works???
    Now does not seem like such a great time to ask for directions but if someone has the time to explain the process on this site tht would be great.
    I would like to say that I believe Jesus led me to this site and I am looking forward to becoming part of Jesus’ plan:)
