Bittersweet

It's never easy, no matter how much you realize the reality that life is short-its still shorter than you ever know. Today we lost a dear co worker- my "boss" as I generally teased him when I worked in the accounting department. Cary was an integral part of Youth WIth a Mission Denver. He was on staff here for 15 years, and left behind a legacy.
About 3 months ago Cary was diagnosed with a tumor on his brain stem, it was an aggressive tumor and though he received some treatment- healing would need to come through a miracle. Today Jesus took him home to be with him.
Cary became one of my most avid supporters when I joined staff. Why? He said he believe in me and that I was worth investing in. He did this with a lot of staff-he championed people.
My life has been very impacted by him. I'll miss him and the random encouragement, telling him to go home late at night when I'd stop by and see him working away......
It's so weird that he's gone. It doesn't make sense. I know God is faithful and He knows what's best, but it still hurts.
