The permanency of death is hard for me to comprehend. It feels more like an abstract concept than an irreparable fact.
It’s been 6 months since Levi died and my impulse feeling is- this should all be over by now. Okay, we’re ready for a respite. Can he come back now? No. He can’t. And not not yet. Not ever. This is permanent.
Instead his gravestone was erected last month.

Nov. 26 Revision:
Death is not so permanent. We have hope that we will see him again in heaven- life is eternal, not ending. Thank you Jesus.
