One of my dear friends, Kati, sang this song at her son’s funeral. She asked me to be a backup, but she didn’t need me. She was so amazing! He was a High Schooler and died in a motorcycle accident near his school.

Kati, I am so sad to hear that, and I am full of awe and admiration that *you* were able to sing at his memorial service. That’s no easy task. Thank you so much for sharing this. I know it can’t have been easy to write about it, but I really am thankful that you did. You have made me more grateful for Heavenly Father’s hand in our lives. His timing really is perfect, even if I sometimes tend to grumble about it.

You have been so kind over the years, and left me such nice comments, that I’ve wished I could meet you. Now I wish you lived next door so I could cry with you instead of just replying from here behind a stupid computer screen. It’s hard to even know what to say, and I undoubtedly got it wrong (I usually do), but I hope you continue to heal, and continue to sing. Hugs from far away… <3 <3 <3
