Broheim

broheim: a kinsman, brethren, a friend or a brother as such

This has been a difficult week for our family. Big kid's best friend's mother passed away suddenly from cancer. And the grief has been deep and dark. Sandie was a vibrant and lovely wife, mother, daughter, and sister. And her loss is felt deeply by so many. It is not easy to bear witness to the pain and suffering and loss of others and to stand in that barren place with them. And as hard as it has been, I am proud of big kid who has been there for his friend at ground zero. Unfortunately it's these very moments that shape us and mold our humanity and compassion. As I watch big kid walk this path with his friend, I have assurance that this painful loss is forging the spirit of "broheim" and fraternity between these 11 year old boys. And one day they will be better men because of it.
