You would think the death of your child would be a wound that could never heal.  It does leave a scar, but it doesn't mean it can't heal and even heal well.  Special guest, Mike Dusold, shares the life and passing of his son Brian.  Brian's passing was not and is not easy. It's been hard on multiple levels.  But, Mike's family made a choice to use Brian's life and his passing as a way to demonstrate the faith, hope, and love of Christ.  

Admittedly, Mike says that it's not been easy.  Some days are harder than others, but as time passes he sees God using Brian's story to touch others.  Brian's compassion, love for others, and ability to connect and communicate with most anyone are just a few of the precious gifts that he leaves behind. 

Mike was vulnerable with his sharing of how they dealt with Brian in his early years of drug use. Always working out of love, but sometimes recognizing that he and his wife should of chosen to be more tough in their loving.  This is harder than people on the outside would imagine.  When it is your own child that is heading for disaster, you want to do whatever you can to ease the immediate pain.  As Mike discusses, sometimes easing the immediate pain might just be kicking the pain down the road.  

Check out this show and please share to others that may be in a similar position.  We do not have to go this alone as parents and families.  God has a plan for all of our lives.  It may not be the path that we would choose, but it is a path that can lead to the greatest rewards and gifts to ourselves and others.
