Another tragedy. One of my friends lost his eight year old grandson in a four wheeler accident. I don't know the details - I didn't ask. The boy was air lifted to Huntsville then to Birmingham Children's Hospital. He had severe traumatic head injuries. He was an only child and my friend's only grandchild. As you can imagine the loss is devasting.

Not being close to his daughter or family I stayed at his daughter's house all afternoon during the services. There is a very serious meth problem around here and sadly break ins and such are common. They have a beautiful place out in the country and rather isolated. The beauty can't offset the sadness.

It was OK, quiet, I read, walked around some. Handled it ok until I had a visitor show up.

He knew something was very very wrong. And he was right. How do you explain to a boy's cat that the world has changed forever and that he won't be coming back?

Good man Roadkill. I hate funerals but I know often the best way to honor a family that is hurting is to make sure they are not made to suffer further grief. Thieves monitor who and when families are at funerals so I've done sitting duties before too. Always keep this in mind when someone passes away.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I do it whenever I'm acquainted with the family. I have seen several slow rollers drive by. They were definitely sniffing. I just make sure I am completely visible and they can see I'm watching them.

Prayers for everyone involved. I had a very horrible dream last night concerning this situation with my kids… guess I was still thinking about it when I went to sleep…
Pray God sends some kind of healing

Praying for the family, I can’t imagine their grief. Mercy

May they be uplifted and comforted in their time of sorrow.

That’s got to be the hardest thing a family can ever go thru. Glad you were there for them in a small way to keep watch.


Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

Heartbreaking story - you being there for them meant more than they could express. Prayers lifted for that family and loved ones.

Good on you for being there for a friend in their hardest hour. And the threat you are guarding against is very real; I can personally attest to that. So you are providing a valuable service.
