One Year Ago

It has been one year since my dear friend Valerie's life was turned upside-down. It was one year ago today that her dad was welcomed into heaven very unexpectedly. It has been one year since the beginning of Val's grief journey. My heart hurts for her and her family today.

Val has amazing faith in our loving, heavenly Father. She has walked this path of grief with faith beyond measure. She has endured a difficult, trying year with great strength. Val's faith has been a terrific example to me: she has taught me how to desire God more; she has taught me to love God more.

I am thankful for my friend who is a testimony to God's faithfulness even in grief!

Valerie, I love you and I am praying for God to fill you with his strength today. Thank you for the example you are to me, thank you for being my friend and thank you for walking beside me as I journey down my own path of grief. I am so blessed to have you in my life!
