Today, I can look back with peace and understand all the pain and hurt was worth it, because now I walk and seek the same passionate relationship with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The suffering Christ endured on the cross was something I'll never truly know. However, what a true blessing that in the midst of a tragedy God never left my side. Even when I was so angry with him. What a privilege and honor to have had 16 years with a man who was my example on earth of Christ and his love for his
