September 1
This is the day I receive the call every parent fears. It is my former wife and she is hysterical. Our youngest child, Steven,age 18 has died in a house fire. The world stops. I’m numb.I'm shocked, confused, heartbroken and angry.
For many nights after the funeral, I tried to respond to the cards and flowers people sent. One night I threw down my pen, dropped to my knees and cried out to God. That was the night my Shepherd took this broken lamb in His arms, coddled me and whispered in my ear, “Here I am.”
"You shall call and the Lord will answer; You shall cry and He will say Here I am." (Isaiah 58:9)
