Tuesday I had the daunting task of officiating a funeral for a stillborn baby. I'd rather do the funeral for the most heinous reprobate in the country--who had opportunity to make the choices that directed his path--than to try to provide comfort in a comfortless situation. The "why"s continue to come. As I was checking a few of my usual reads I was alerted to this post at Downshore Drift, blogging home of Alan Cross. Caelan has been fighting for his life nearly his entire two and one-half years.
