A good friend from highschool lost her little boy a few days ago to cancer.  He wasn't even a year old.  I can't imagine how hard it would be to lose a child, and to lose one to cancer.  What a brave family they are to pull through this.  It makes us all reflect, love a little more and live a little deeper.

There is a wonderful quote saying we are measured by our capacity to love.  Trials and tradgedies such as these certainly deepen our hearts and character.  Lucas will be missed.  And Kirsten in our family is missed but it is comforting to know, we can still feel their love and influence even from the other side.  It is a comfort to know, families are forever.
