UGH, Drew! No two words describe my father more than “quiet faithfulness.” He lives with us now and we support my mom in caring for him through dementia. So I only cried through every other sentence of this beautiful essay. Thanks for laboring. Thanks for sharing.
Audible “mmms” and “ohs” over here. Worth all the time it took to read. Thank you for laboring over this essay, Drew. I see your Grandma Sue in you in the quiet faithfulness and tenacity it must have taken to wrestle these broken and beautiful words down - and to wind up, still, with hope.
Oh, this was feeling so heavy and I was wondering if there was going to be an up turn. It was so sweet to be turned to the quiet faithful, long-suffering prayer warriors and workers of justice as I heard echoes of my own heartbreak in your essay. ❤️

Thank you. We all needed this
Beautiful! Thanks for writing this.
Uffda! You honor your Grandma well. It is hard as the writer of a piece like this to let your heart be broken for others. Thanks for sharing yours.
