This is too hard to take I'm so teary cus I know how it feels to lose a mother, a father, and two siblings. All happened in 2020, 2021, and 2022. I feel his pain!

This is so sad, I'm not normally the teary type, but I couldn't help but shed tears, I hope Jehovah God keeps him strong, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I pray and hope everything turns out well for him, I've also dealt with loss before(my dad) but this is too much and in quick succession too. God, please make a way for him. Amen.
