The passing of a true Christian friend

Every once in a while, you come across someone who touches your heart in one way or another.

You just know this person is special in some way for some reason – and you know this person will be with you forever, even after he or she has passed on to bigger and better things.

I’m extremely fortunate to have some very, very good friends around here – people who mean the world to me and people who would go into battle with me, or at least always be there during the thick and thin of life.
