Wow. Sometimes only one word can explain an event, day, or happening. Today we had the opportunity to attend the aforementioned funeral for the son, Jackson, of some friends of ours in the Ward. We had great respect and admiration for Coby and Tiffany Rich already, today just added to it. It is said that the Lord will not place upon us any more than we are able to bear. Coby and Tiffany must be two of the strongest individuals there are. I have been able to attend a number of funeral services, this was simply one of the most moving and special. There were two great tributes given by Jackson's grandfathers, mixed in with two amazing musical numbers. Then Jackson's father, Coby, did something I would imagine as being one of the most difficult things a parent could do; speak at the funeral of his infant son. Coby spoke with a peace and Spirit that was truly worthy of his son. As special as this little boy was, one whose trip on earth was just long enough to show how pure he was, he was truly blessed with a family just as special. It is times like this when one is especially greatful for the Gospel plan and the Atonement of Jesus Christ, along with the Sealing power that has been restored upon the earth. Our Prayers and thoughts are with them.
