Today I witnessed something that shook my inner being. It’s really almost impossible to put into words but I will try…for my sake in processing what I experienced…..
I attended a funeral for this beautiful 9 month old baby girl. She died this past friday and our whole Nyack community felt so much for her mom, dad and older sister. At the funeral service tonight while many of us came to comfort and show support, we left with a renewed sense of strength and encouragement from the people that we were supposed to comfort and encourage.
In the midst of such unimaginable sorrow Chris (dad) spoke and displayed an unthinkable amount of faith and joy that could only come from something other than this world. I saw a man grounded in something so strong that even the death of his own baby girl could not shake.
I was so shook and strengthened in my own faith by this family and specially by Chris. I can’t even begin to imagine what it must be like to lose your baby girl after only 9 months of life. Yet this man stood on a supernatural faith that I could only look at admire and desire.
