A friend, the son of dear friends

In therapy we discussed how you can still have mixed feelings about someone long after you have forgiven them. On your birthday, J., I am praying that you are in the presence of the One who loves you best (that is, I truly want the best for you), and ask that you would join me in praying for those you hurt most, including your parents, widow and young son, and my precious daughter, who thought the world of you until that night. It is impossible to know which of those two tragic choices did more harm to your soul, but I hope you're healed of all of it.
