I always think that someone, having lost so much, should never have to face such pain again. I can’t even think to tell you how sorry I am, what pain you must be feeling.

I can tell you though, that I have no doubt that Mark knew you loved him and that love helped him deal with his own terrible feelings about Micheal’s loss.

The only other thing I can tell you is that in my religion, we believe everyone has a purpose in life and when they complete that task…God often calls them home. It is horrible and hard for those left behind…but sometimes it is easier when you view it this way. I heard a 17 year old sister explaining about her 19 year old soldier brother who had been killed…she said that she was so proud of him, that he has, in only 19 years, accomplished the task God had given him.

Mark had a task – perhaps it was to be Micheal’s friend and then, to help you after. I don’t know. I am so sorry. So much love, I send to you, my friend and sister.

I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot begin to imagine the pain you are in right now. I can only hope that with time, that pain will start to fade and be replaced by all the good memories that you hold close to your heart.

Take Care
