However, I almost have to put on battle armor, to anesthetize myself from the pain I hold within. I know that sounds pathetic, and a horrible way to grieve...especially for a minister....Yes, it is sad, but equally as true.<BR/><BR/>When my mom called about D.W., I knew what she was going to say before she uttered a word...That kind of 6th sense develops in Ministers who deal with death more so than they ever care to admit, or would ever wish on anyone.<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, it seemed as though D.W. fought an uphill battle most of his living years...However, unlike many others, he persevered until the end...and remained true to that spirit of a "loving little boy” or “big brother" until end.<BR/><BR/>My prayers go out to all of those grieving his loss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16655741.post-49743837837235385152009-01-12T21:02:00.000-06:002009-01-12T21:02:00.000-06:00What a well written piece.
