This is Brad Warren, a musical hero and recent 'digital friend' I have made. I saw him in concert shortly after his son Sage passed away. Today he tells us a little more about this.
Pay attention to how he is focusing his thoughts on Christ and the life he has to live with Christ now and after his own death.

Exactly 3 years ago today Michelle and I lost our firstborn son to an accidental fentanyl overdose. Today I am thankful that I will never be the same. Sage left me many gifts when he exited this earth. Let me share a few of them with you.
I will never take life for granted again. I will never take fatherhood, my children or my wife for granted again. I will never take God or the promise of a future beyond this life for granted again. I will never be scared of death, poverty, insignificance, or failure again. I will never not reach out to someone in pain so that I don’t bother them again. I will never not look at pain (physical, spiritual or emotional) as an opportunity for growth again. I will never take a sunrise, a sunset, a mountain or an ocean for granted again. I will never see a cardinal and not stop to enjoy it again. I will never believe in coincidences again. I will never judge someone based on their worst or best day again. I will never bargain with God again because he isn’t bargaining with me anyway. I will never stop learning again. I will never stop growing again. I will never let my insecurities get in the way of my usefulness again. I will never plan out my life again. I will never become enslaved by daily trivia again. I will never stop trying to learn patience again. I will never stop searching for peace again. I will never worry more about what people think than what I know again. I will trust. I will obey. I will stumble. But thank God I will never be the same.
Thank you Sage. I miss you every second but I am grateful for all that you left me and I will try to honor you with every bit of it. Brad
