A dear friend of the family has passed away in MD, and I am not going to be with my wife when she goes to help lay him to rest. I so wish I could be.
I will instead go that evening to the viewing for a former coworker who passed away last week, and will pray that God will use my presence here for his glory when my heart longs to be there.
Then, in two weeks, I will make an unaccompanied trip to MD for my cousin's memorial service and interment. I know that my bride will feel the same way about staying behind then that I do now, but she will be doing what we agree that she should, supporting a young high school graduate as she prepares to embark on her life's journey.
