Blog Poaching


This is a link to a blog of a friend of my family, Mike. Mike is the one that spoke at Tyler's funeral for us. His daughter Megan died about 10 years before Tyler did. He has had a series of blogs recently, about losing a child. I have enjoyed reading them and they have meant a lot to me. So, I thought I would share.

In this particular post he was giving advice to the friends of those that have lost a child. This was one of the things that he said that really spoke to me: When you are the friend "You can’t turn loose of your end of the rope. Even if your friend is hard to be with. When you’re on the other end, that rope is actually a lifeline. If feels thin and frayed. Even if they’re unable to express thanks or are irritable, they need you more than you can know."
