there was a time in 2005 when i was talking to a brother. he was being emotional, and i understood a bit about his emotionality. having to go through the same transition a few months later, i understood a bit of his worries, his fears..
he didn't really talk to the guys in his group because he felt that they don't comprehend what he's going through. we served together before.. and perhaps found out that we were actually quite similar.
i remember we talked. i just don't remember what we talked about. he wanted to drink. i thought that was a bad idea.
i remember talking to the same brother another time at a carpark. he cried. and i didn't know what to do.
and subsequently he went to the tertiary group. and he flourished. he rose up, he pioneered a group.
and then before i knew it.. he was gone.
he's very successful now, as to what i read on his blog.. dabbling in his niche area.
i pray that he'll never forget the joys and sorrows he's experienced with You in his life.
