For the family of Spc. Qixing Lee:
I can only imagine what you and your family have gone through since being notified of the death of Qixing. I want you to know that you are not alone. Hearts of families all over the United States are grieving with you and have your family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
LIFE...so fragile. LOSS... so sudden. HEART...so broken.
In time, there will come a day when the tears of sorrow
will softly flow into sighs of remembrance. Your heart will begin to heal itself.
Grieving will be interrupted by episodes of joy; & you will hear the whisper of hope.
There will come a day when you will welcome the pangs of remembrance
as a sun shower of the soul; a turning of the tide; the promise of peace.
There will come a day when you will risk loving,
go on believing, and treasure the remembering.
Qixing was a very good and brave man. You have much to be proud of. He has not left you, but has been re-deployed to Heaven. I wish that I could ease your pain and sadness, but it will be a long, slow and painful climb. Pain this deep will never go entirely away, but I pray that as each day that passes the hurt becomes a little less. And the memories of a lifetime will sustain you. These memories are your keepsake that can never be taken away. God has Qixing in his keeping, but you have him forever in your thoughts and hearts. We pray that our Savior – in whose presence Qixing now rests – will comfort you and ease the pain of this loss and that your memories of Him will shine through the sadness.
