I just got news of a friend's father passing away.

Of course it's a harsh thing to hear about. She is a very good friend, so obviously I'd like to say something meaningful, something that will take all the pain away.

But I can't. I'm not good enough.
I cannot even find the correct words to say to her, so she knows I'm with her. If not physically, in spirit.
What can you say that'll make any difference to her?

I can only pray that she'll be OK. And ask that whomever might read this, will do so as well.
And perhaps, while reading this, you'll say "Hey! But I don't believe in God!"
Well, i say to you, do it anyways. It cannot hurt, can it?

For all of those who do not speak spanish, here's the translation of what they say in the "Castor" video.

Kid: Mommy! Tomorrow i've gotta go dressed as a Beaver.
Mom: As what?!
Kid: Beaver

(song plays as mom makes disguise
Lyrics are weird, but here it goes...

Who is beautiful
Always shiny
And writes with a smile in the sun
Perhaps he exists
Perhaps he will want to love me
It is my beaver
It is my beaver)

Kid: Hullo, Mommy.

Mom: Let's go.

Kid: (singing a Spanish christmas carol)
"Let's go Shepherds, let's go
Lets go to Betlehem"

(In spanish, the word Beaver and Shepherd rhyme.
Yes, I know it's kinda lost in translation, but it's such a cute video not to share....)
