He knew his friend was hurting.
He could see it in his eyes…
for sadness and confusion is difficult to disguise.
He didn’t know what to do to ease his grief.
He didn’t know what to say…
Some pain, he knows, must be endured…
some pain will never go away.
What can you say to someone you love…
when someone they love has died?
So he said nothing…
not one word…
he just sat there by his side.
All he had to offer was his friendship,
knowing this journey would be rough
but by the hint of a smile in his friend’s eyes…
he knew his friendship was enough.
