“And a certain man was there, which had been diseased eight and thirty years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he now long time had been diseased, he said unto him, ‘Wilt thou be made whole?’ The sick man answered him, ‘Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into […]

“Then enquired he of them the hour when he [his son] began to amend; they said unto him, ‘Yesterday the seventh hour the fever left him.’ Then the father knew, that it was the same hour in the which Jesus had said unto him, ‘Thy son lives;’ he believed, & all his household. This second miracle did Jesus again, after he […]

“The ruler said unto him [Jesus], ‘Sir, go down before my son die’. Jesus said unto him, ‘Go thy way, thy son lives’: and the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, ‘Thy son lives’” (John 4:49-51 [1587 Geneva Version]).  […]

My family and I struggled with the first year of celebrations, special days, and birthdays. Our granddaughters, daughter and my husband and I thought carefully of how to move through that year without our son, brother, and uncle.
