It’s hard to remember reading a more beautiful and heartbreaking post than this one. What a brave proclamation of the Hope we have even in the very worst of circumstances. Thank you for putting it all on the table. The Breams will be covering the Sasse family in prayer.

Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it’s a death sentence.
