I’ve made so many people feel awkward since I lost my son.

I think I used to be more couth- maybe even suave- but not anymore.  And I’ve quit with the trying- too tired from years of grief now to catch back up to normal.

I’m the guy who stops conversations at parties when the other asks what seemed a simple enough question about kids.

And here’s what never ceases to amaze me.  It’s the Christians that are most dumbfounded by my loss, by my grief and by my painful present reality.

….go here to read the rest.
