Hi Jacob. I really appreciate you making this available to read. Sam was able to put into words a lot of the feelings I’ve had since my daughter passed away 2 years ago. It was very touching, especially coming from such a young, but wise individual. Thanks again for sharing as it was really impactful .

thanks, Brandon. Sam just read your comment this morning. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. We should talk sometime. Although this is a gut-punch with pain that doesn't ever seem to go away entirely, the hope and peace and joy and love does change the experience so much.

Jacob, I also lost a daughter at a young age. She was born in summer 2019 and passed away Nov 2021. I am so sorry for your loss, I know it is very painful. But, the "good news" of the gospel is that the Resurrection is real! I hope you can find comfort in the promise of the resurrection.

Amen, dear friend. What good news this is - especially our restoration understanding in the law of compensation, that parents will one day raise their children lost in a glorious future day of peace.
