10th Company Family

We got this email the other night from Tim:

"Remember Chung from my company? (Mom, you drove him one time.) His dad
unexpectedly died a few days ago. They are having a memorial service
tomorrow evening. It's in Maryland. I don't know if you'd be
interested in going, but I thought I'd pass along the information. If
you could go, it'd be a way for me to be there for him (10th Company
Family.)"

Last night Jeff and I went to represent Tim. We were blessed beyond measure at the out pouring of love by the Korean community to Chung's family. In the midst of Korean-only language barrier we understood perfectly the language of love. The only words I understood were "Jesus Christ". That's all I needed. The comfort of knowing Jesus is all that matters and especially as death brings the final reality of the need for Jesus. We were blessed.

As we went through the line to pay our respects to the family Chung was so grateful and pointed out to his mother that we were Tim's parents. "Such a great guy", Chung said. When I offered my hand he gave me a big hug and said, "it means the world to me that you came" as I told him we were there for Tim who wanted him to know his 10th Company family was with him.

We are thankful to be a part of this family.
