I wish there was a word we could speak that dealt sadness a crippling blow.
Something we could tell those we love, when they are hurting, that would take the pain away.
If only our vocabulary contained a phrase with the power to wipe away the tears, and to comfort the broken heart.
If only such a word existed.
Alas, our speech is constrained by our own verbal limits.
All we can do is show that we care, and let God do the rest.
Keep on my friend.
We may not be able to take away the hurt... but we can always be there for you.
