Sadness and Grief

It is with much sadness that I am posting this blog today.

Just a few days ago I learned that my 15 year old cousin drowned in a lake near his home.
Why? How come? Is it fair?
How can his parents possibly be coping with this great loss? I, as a parent, cannot comprehend what they are going through.
He was a sweet shy little kid. I remember when he was baptized. My dad is his Godfather.

We have to go to the funeral tomorrow. Talking to my son about death is a new challenge also. What do you say? How do you explain that?
Well, all of these things are chasing through my mind. I am so tired from thinking.
