I attended a wake last week of a 26 year who lost his life. The hugs were genuine. Words could not express what the hug said. I am saddened by the pain that is in the world today. Hugs count.

Even though there are no words to take away the hurt, the hug of someone who understands the loss is very meaningful, I'm sure. What a good, strong friend you are to be able to share that hug even when it causes you to relive your own pain.

My parents lost their son, I lost my brother when he was 29 and your blog captured that grief so accurately. No one should ever have to experience such pain and loss.
