Pain is universal. It shapes our fears and sharpens every aspect of our character. When we find ourselves in the trenches, waging our wars alone, God always seems to send us special people who open our eyes, minds, and hearts. These people teach us what it means to love and be loved, to appreciate and embrace the hurt, to let go and forgive, and to heal so we may love again. This book tells the story of the impact such people have on our lives and provides a message of hope in a world that often feels so dis connected.
