My daughter has a winsome smile, a keen wit, a sharp eye for chess and a knack for Shakespeare.

She is also a crime victim.

Grief stalks us all. We lose people we love to death, cancer, accidents…

We need to be honest and admit that grief and pain stalk us all.

We need someone to save us. Someone who will stay with us through the pain and help pick up the pieces.

Some willing to be lonely and misunderstood with us. To stay with us through it.

Jesus cried out His ultimate loneliness on the Cross so we would not have to face this broken world alone.
