Give Grace I saw the voices rise after Charlie's passing-words spoken without thought, blind to his children, to our hurt, to the heaviness of grief. Their carelessness felt like a stain on humanity. But who are we to be judge and jury? We cannot know what they carried after, what truth they later learned, how their hearts shifted in silence. So let us be better. Stronger. Kinder. Wiser. Open a path-for it is not simple, nor easy for some. Let us forgive, and let forgiveness flow. Let us be the example, grow in patience, grow in love, grow in faith. For grace is the bridge that opens the way-a way to Jesus.
