Bright Sadness ~ A Request for Prayer

It is on this Most Holy Day of Pascha

that I announce the death of Mr. Husband's adult godson

of a sudden heart attack on 

Great and Holy Friday.

The newly departed leaves behind

a grieving widow and a young munchkin

who served for the first time in the altar of our church

this past Holy Thursday.

The funeral is tomorrow, on Bright Monday with burial after

in a local cemetery. 

My little church munchkin wants to serve for the second time

in his life at his father's funeral.

We are brokenhearted.

We are also grieving with hope in the Risen Christ. 

Please pray for all the grieving, 

especially the widow and munchkin,

our church priest and choir 

and for Mr. Husband and I who 

are spending time with the 

grieving widow and munchkin.
