We've all suffered loss in our lives, one way or the other. We've all felt the pain, the fear, and the sadness that loss brings upon us. However, it's different when God takes one of us away too early or too young. How could such tragedy happen to a person so young, to a person who has not experienced all of what life has to offer?
Could it be the purity of their spirits, the sanctity of their souls?
We've suffered a tragic loss. I emphasize "we" because my High School, Harborfields, has this miraculous ability to come together through a time of loss, sadness, despair, and all of those feelings associated with the loss of life. One of the members of our HFamily passed away, Jacob. Some of us may only remember him, some of us may have interacted with him, and some of us may have loved him unconditionally; regardless of our relationship with him, everyone is suffering his loss. He was known for his contagious smile, his ability to make people laugh, how he lit up every room he walked in, and most importantly, how kind and genuine he was as a person. He's positively impacted all of the people whose lives he has walked into. He exemplifies the pure goodness that people are capable of.
Take time out of your day to pray for Jacob, his loved ones, and all of the others you have lost in your life.
