Dear Elena

There’s a blog that I’ve been reading called “Dear Elena“. It’s written by a guy who lost his young daughter in February. It’s a haunting read, and very raw. Some days it’s uplifting. Some days it’s depressing. Most days it makes you want to cry. The most memorable post for me was the reprinting of the homily that the Catholic Priest gave at the funeral. The ability to find hope in the midst of so much pain inspires the kind of Christian I want to be. A Christian who has the humility to recognise that they don’t always have answers, that their faith is incomplete – and yet offers the ray of hope that is in them, the hope that they have in Christ.
