I See Everything - La Dispute[00:00:00]
Like any morning of my[00:00:08]
Junior year[00:00:10]
I stumble in the classroom[00:00:11]
Late but this day I see[00:00:13]
Faces I feel[00:00:15]
An air like a funeral[00:00:16]
Like a wake[00:00:17]
As I sit down[00:00:18]
Teacher speaking[00:00:20]
Somewhat sombrely[00:00:21]
But still confident and calm[00:00:23]
Part eulogy[00:00:25]
Her speech and[00:00:26]
Part poem part celebration song[00:00:28]
Her warmth and smile[00:00:29]
She passes photocopies[00:00:31]
Out to us of entries[00:00:32]
From a journal[00:00:34]
Kept so long ago[00:00:35]
She starts to read[00:00:37]
And suddenly[00:00:38]
It's 1980[00:00:40]
March 5[00:00:42]
The cancer is furious[00:00:43]
But our son is resilient[00:00:45]
We have all the faith[00:00:47]
We'll get through this[00:00:49]
No matter what the end[00:00:50]
Treatments are violent but[00:00:52]
He keeps on smiling[00:00:54]
It's amazing[00:00:56]
Finding joy in the little things[00:00:57]
April 12[00:00:59]
Andrew's appetite's improved[00:01:01]
And we thank God everyday[00:01:03]
But still it's hard sometimes[00:01:05]
To see him in that scarecrow frame[00:01:07]
July 9[00:01:10]
There's a suffering[00:01:11]
When I look in his eyes[00:01:12]
He's been through so much[00:01:15]
We've all been through so much but[00:01:17]
What incredible resolve[00:01:20]
Our little boy shows only 7[00:01:22]
Standing face to face with death[00:01:24]
He said it's easy to find people[00:01:26]
Who have suffered worse than him[00:01:29]
"Like Jesus suffered worse than anyone"[00:01:31]
He told me last night[00:01:33]
"When God abandoned him" and[00:01:35]
September 20[00:01:37]
We've been playing in the yard[00:01:39]
Lately his spirits are high[00:01:41]
Although his blood counts aren't[00:01:43]
October 14[00:01:46]
He feels tired all the time[00:01:47]
November 30[00:01:49]
At the hospital again[00:01:50]
It feels like home when we're here[00:01:52]
December 8[00:01:54]
He's getting worse [00:01:56]
January 19[00:01:59]
We buried our son today[00:02:03]
Our youngest child[00:02:07]
And while his death was ugly[00:02:09]
We must not[00:02:12]
Let it scare us from God[00:02:14]
Abundant grace has restored him[00:02:16]
A brand new body[00:02:19]
And set him free from the torture[00:02:20]
Finally rid of the cancer[00:02:23]
Before the moment he left[00:02:25]
He briefly wrested from death[00:02:27]
Suddenly opened his eyes[00:02:29]
Said "I see everything"[00:02:31]
"I see everything"[00:02:34]
And I will never forget it[00:02:36]
The peace and the comfort[00:02:39]
You displayed through a pain[00:02:41]
That I can only imagine[00:02:43]
The loss of a child[00:02:46]
To the torture of cancer[00:02:48]
Help me[00:02:50]
Cause I can only imagine[00:02:52]
How you recovered[00:02:54]
Kept your faith[00:02:55]
And held the brightness of life[00:02:56]
Inside the smile of a child[00:02:59]
You had to bury[00:03:01]
And I will never forget him[00:03:03]
Or your steadfast faith[00:03:06]
No I will never forget you[00:03:08]
Now six or seven years later[00:03:10]
I'm devoid of all faith[00:03:12]
I am empty of comfort[00:03:14]
And I am weary of waiting[00:03:17]
Though I've felt nowhere what you have[00:03:19]
I see nothing at all[00:03:22]
Though I've felt nowhere what he did[00:03:23]
My eyes are closed[00:03:26]
