At age 7?? I couldn't figure out why everyone was so sad if the real Brad was really in heaven. I look back on that...the most REAL, completely true, unmuddled faith in God I've probably ever had. Amidst all of the weird feelings it brought because of the fact that there was a dead body lying there in front of me with people around him weaping (which is not something I deal with well), cotton in his nose, and the strange feelings I can't explain knowing, but not really knowing what it meant...I believed he was in heaven and knew it completely. The experiences we've had have shaped who we are, haven't they, brata? I wouldn't change them for anything...the things we've seen, the things we've heard, the God we've seen in a bigger way than most people in America, the experiences we went through together as a family...they've given me the foundation to fall back on when I start to lose my way. Thank you, Jesus. Wow, that took me back…I remember that day very well too. At age 7?? I couldn’t figure out why everyone was so sad if the real Brad was really in heaven.

Dad and I thought you kids were grounded enough to be exposed to that real life and death situation. Losing Brad that way was one of the saddest losses in my life up to that time too. One of those we can ask the Lord about some day. Love you, Mom Jamer,
