Hi. You don’t know us. This is Amanda, Ryan and Lindsey. We really like your box! We’re so sorry you died so young. I’m sure you were a great guy and hope we meet you in heaven. We live right next door to the cemetery and just wanted to say hi. We’re touched by all the people who love you!
This entry made us laugh. First of all, their curiosity about the oak box got the best of them- that's so like little kids. I can just see them, "Ryan, look what I found! Should we write something?"
But more than that, their sweet innocence about the topic touched us deeply. Their assurance of heaven and the opportunity to meet Jeremy face-to-face seemed so assured. Life seems to have a way of robbing us of the things we know to be true and it's too easy to find ourselves dissecting God's promises during hard times. I know I do (Jim). Oh to have an innocent, simple faith again like Amanda, Ryan & Lindsey.
