The News One Never Wishes a Friend To Hear

Nothing can prepare you to be the one to console a friend through what may be the hardest of times for them. I wish to write about this event without mentioning those involved as I believe they would not wish to be mentioned. Even though I have only know him for a few weeks we have become friends and I was one of the first to hear of this terrible news. All I can say is that I am here for you whenever you need it. My words are clumsy but this puts it far better than I ever could:

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face;

the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,

may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
