Yeah, well, it's a hard life. The most you can do do sometimes is try to understand, and be there for them.

I have only one redeeming grace, and that is Jesus, I have no idea where i would be if the Lord did not lead me.

He'll be ok. I have lost most of my family and quite a few friends by now. It's not easy sometime but life goes on. Just be there for him. Never give up.
