This was special music on Saturday night. I can't tell you what a tremendous blessing this family has been to me and my family in so many ways over so many years. Have you ever felt so grateful, so full of knowledge of wonderfullness that you can't express it? I'll never be able to let them know the witness and example they've been. Shawn has been going through a similar life, with a debilitating sickness very close to mine, for something like 9 years now. I can sit down with him, and even though I don't know him personally very well, we have an instant connection in that we understand exactly what each other is going through. To see someone so young, with 5 more years of illness than me gives me courage and admiration. To see what God can do in someone elses life lifts me up and comforts me.

Here is Shawn and his girlfriend. He's playing the guitar and they're singing a duet. I wish I had more than 20 seconds, but my camera shut off on me. The song is talking about how through the pain and the sorrow, all we need is to come to Jesus and drink of the waters of life (that's how I remember it, anyhow). To hear this beautiful music and words coming from someone who has lived that in his life is so utterly moving.

The picture is dark, because they were sitting on the floor and I was in the back. I just left the cover on my camera and let the sound speak for itself. I wanted a tiny memory of that moment for myself, to remember.
