When I woke up this morning I received some sad news which not only shocked me but greatly upset me too. For months now I have been following the story of a brave young girl called Claudia who had been diagnosed at five with a brain tumor and was given just weeks to live. That was three years ago and she managed to defy the odds. It was a sad and yet beautiful story to follow. Her parents shared her high and low points along with their own. The tide appeared to be turning for them a few days ago when they managed to purchase a new house, one which would suit Claudia better. Unfortunately the lull in the storm finally broke for them and sadly last night Claudia passed away in her sleep. I can not imagine the grief and pain that her parents must be feeling. I can't imagine the agony that is overwhelming them right now. Claudia's fight was courageous and I know that her family, while heartbroken, will be extremely proud of her. I am in no doubt that Claudia is in the arms of her saviour right now but I can't help by thinking about her family. The sting of death it seems is reserved for those left behind.
Claudia and her family are the type of people I would class as brave.
I can only hope that The Lord will comfort them during this time. Their lives will never be the same again but I hope that one day they manage to find peace.
Faith is a wonderful thing but sometimes I wonder if there are some things it simply can not fix.
