The wise words of Metropolitan Philaret were most moving.

Oh it made me weep at times reading this. The joy and the loss. Experiencing the loss of a child and the anguish it does to the heart it as it penetrates us to our core. We are fortunate to have dear ones that have walked in these steps and ones that sowed into others lives by love acceptance and faith. Thank you for sharing this.
