Initial Background / Gathering of Thoughts / Reason for Creating This Blog

Here is just a little background information for those of you who are not familiar with my current story.  On April 2nd, 2017, my life and my family changed forever.  I lost my 17 year old son, Evan, a month or so before he was to graduate high school.  I have never seen a faith and love of God so strong in anyone of that age.  I was definitely questioning my own faith after his passing.  I wanted answers from God for why He would take him at such a young age, such a beautiful soul with so much life left ahead of him to live.  I was masquerading myself to others at times, appearing to be fine, when actually breaking on the inside, drowning my sorrows in alcohol any chance I could get.  My family life was becoming stressed, due to my own selfishness and denial of grief and depression, but I continued to try to hold it together in public.  I did not want to seem weak by others, wanted to be strong for my family and friends, and for Evan’s friends.  I kept up this game of charades until August of 2017.  I was lucky enough to attend a retreat at Manresa House of Retreats in Convent, LA.  I was blessed to feel the presence of my son there, as well as that of the Holy Spirit that weekend.  I was able to accept the loss of Evan as the will of God.  I know Evan was prepared for his end.  It was the rest of us who were not.  In short, this blog will basically be about my journey back to the Light of Christ since the passing of Evan, as well as a platform to continue his mission.  That is to spread the Word of God and the message of Christ to all who may read and accept the Holy Spirit into their lives, and to help bring others closer to the Lord.  This will also serve as a continual therapeutic remedy for my grief and depression healing process.  May God bless all of you who come by to read, and know that you are in my prayers.
