Juneau, Alaska

Today we learned the news that my uncle, Sam, died after a long illness. He was a good man and I loved visiting him and his family on their farmland in California. The miracle of the moment was that my brother, sister, and I were both in the room with my mother when the news came. Though this doesn't happen too often, it allowed for us all to wrap our arms around her and comfort her. That was God-work going on.
