There wasn't much we could do. In the wake of such a terrible loss, I mean really, what can you do? There are no amount of words, embraces, or monetary things, that can bring him back.
Nothing can lessen the blow, except for Christ's amazing power to heal and restore. Not restore what you lost. But restore the pieces broken when he left.
Convicted to do something, we went. We went in support of the fallen soldier, his wife, son, and everyone who's had to walk the bitter circumstances of this life. This life is not easy. But even in the midst of the pain, we all witnessed a beautiful display of togetherness. A beautiful display of support. A beautiful display of....well, love.
And that's what it's all about. Giving love. Doing, not just speaking, an act that displays His love. Even if it's a small one. A small act...like standing on the side of the road, the parade grounds, a flight line, side by side, simply showing that we care.
and raising up our next generation to do the same....a generation that loves...
here's to you Michael and Tiffany Boch....

Yes. was it Mother Teresa (or someone else?!?!) who said "I can do no big things, only small things, with big love."
I'm butchering that, but hte point is, that the little things in front of me each day is what matters.
This matters, what you did matters, the way the girls see you love others...
