Oh, How I Long To Hear His Name!

The Vietnam Memorial is a beautiful and meaningful reminder of those who gave their lives in that war.  The stark black stone highlights the 58,307 names engraved in its surface.

Names matter because they represent individuals that mattered-to family, to friends, to coworkers, to a nation.

I shared this years ago as part of a “Loving Well” series of posts about what grieving parents feel and what ministers to their broken hearts.

I long to know my son is remembered and still matters.  

PleaseJust Say His Name.
