A good friend of mine lost her brother to cancer yesterday.. they have never dealt with something like that before.
And since they knew I lost my mom here, and buried her here.
They called and asked from the heart if Id help.
I went there last night.. they dont even know where to start.
So I will plan the church service and buriel for them.
I didnt know the man who died.. But I want to help.
Hope Im doing something to help them.
I feel bad for them.

Too bad i am 23 and i feel i have not achieved anything in life yet.To die at such young age must be very hard on his family.

It is so kind of you to help that way. Many people would say they were too busy, especially at this time of year. You are helping in a very real and concrete manner.

At least you can help them in this most sorrowful moment of their life.
It's really sad to lost someone we love and a help from other people and friends is very much appreciated in times like this.
Keep up the good work- I can see that you're always helping around you.

Vow maria, so glad to go through your discussion....your help is highly appreciated...it is practical in life that when ever opportunities come - we have to make proper use of them and you have done it....This is a service which has aroused in you spontaneously ...which can be categorical as a selfless service without any expectations.... and in such deep sorrowful situations ONE should forget everything and go forward to help...Which you have done it...GREAT...!!![i][/i]@mariaperalta (19073)
