How is it possible to have so much sadness and yet joy at the same time?

My heart is broken. Today 9/21/2008 a very precious brother and friend Cody Spahr, age 25, left this world. Cody was my best friends love, her life, her husband of almost 1 year.
I'm happy that he's no longer in pain...he's no longer suffering.
I'm devastated for the loss he leaves behind in each of us that were priveleged to know and love him.

It's so hard to understand how such a young life can be eaten up by that horrible disease cancer.

I'm at such a loss for words, tears continually fall down my face.

It has been such a joy to see the love between Amy & Cody, and the many amazing examples of love throughout the world for them. It's awesome to know that as brothers and sisters in Christ, that there were so many around the world who have been watching/reading www.tribesphar.blogspot.com to await news of Cody on a daily basis. Overwhelming to know that even those who've never met him were praying and joining together in love to help fight in prayer and be warriors together united in Christ to take a stand.

I'm reminded that no matter what our difference may be, we are all one family in Christ and when 1 hurts, we all hurt.

So for all whom I've known that I talk to on a daily basis, once a week, once a year, or only online...know from everything in my heart that I love you and appreciate you, and I'm sure that I never tell you that enough!

Don't ever forget to let your loved ones know that you love and cherish them, for none of us are promised tomorrow

Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

Don't let a moment go by...as we've seen thru Cody and Amy's love for one another, love is truly a treasure meant for us to give unselfishly, with faith, hope, and joy.

I love you Cody...and I know you are resting in peace at rest with our Savior in no more pain, no more tears, no more suffering. You will never be forgotten, and will forever remain in our hearts.
