Grits, suffered the loss of her son Stephen this morning. He died because of Batten's Disease, from which he had been suffering since he was a little child.
Stephen could not have had a better, or more loving, mother. I hope you will join me in prayer for Stephen, for Grits, and for their family.

I will pay a bit of a tribute to Grits here – for the years I've known her and known that she was carrying a heavy load, I've never heard her do more than occasionally admit to being perhaps a little tired or sad or wanting to get out for just a little while before she would change the subject and want to know how YOU were feeling or what were YOU up to.
A kind and gracious lady. A loving and devoted mother.
Rest in peace, Stephen.

I once asked Grits if she ever felt resentful about having a child who was so sorely handicapped by such a rare disease.
She told me she was grateful to God for bringing her Stephen for the time he would be here.
I remember that and feel humbled.

I met Stephen in 2006, when Grits provided me with her excellent Southern hospitality during my Great Southern Road Trip. He was indeed blessed to have Grits for a mother, as well as the entire extended family. If one is fated to have a horrible disease such as Batten's, you definitely want someone like Grits to rally the troops and surround you with love and care.
Love and prayers for the Grits clan as they mourn their bittersweet loss. Love and prayers for Stephen, may he rest in peace.

I've struggled with how to express this for the past day. Here goes.
I don't visit here much. Lack of time mostly. But I came here originally as a warden with the CoF project. I subsequently met Grits & Tortuf both. I'm proud to call them friends because of it. Anyhow, a couple years back I visited Nashville to see them and meet a few more from the Ship. It was a very busy weekend. Fished with Tortuf in the morning. Toured a church with Sine' and a small mob of Shipmates. (Sorry. Can't remember everyone's ship names.) Had lunch with the same mob.
But the evening was the most memorable part. It was my birthday and Grits invited me to her home. There I met her family including Stephen. It wasn't the fabulous cake or the fun picking music with her husband that stuck to me. (Both were wonderful, don't get me wrong.) It was the love and light that surrounded Stephen that I carried home. I was privileged to witness that night what a loving, Christian home can be and I feel blessed to have done so.
Humbled? Certainly. Enlightened? Probably. Filled with hope at humans can accomplish through love? Absolutely.
Thank you Grits, Stephen and everyone else for that day. I will carry all of you the rest of mine.

I had the pleasure of meeting the family on a trip thru Grits' neck of the woods, also. I've thought the same things.
Even if the Lord thought it advisable to explain all the "Why?" prayers, there's no reason to expect we could really understand the deep reasons of God. Sometimes I console myself with that.

Sine and I attended the funeral today. It was quite moving and touching. People had fond memories of Stephen and shared them. There was even a video of Stephen as a little boy, singing and bouncing around. When he got a little out of hand I heard Grits' stern voice telling him to behave. The congregation got a giggle out of it.
Stephen was happy in his life. He was loved in his life and he died secure in the knowledge that there was something better waiting for him.
Sine will post the Mystery Worshiper version on Monday.

Posted by Tortuf (# 3784) on

I'm in a little bit better position to write about the funeral now.
Sine and I got to the church about 20 minutes before the scheduled start of the funeral. This was a logistical mistake of some magnitude on our parts as we found ourselves at the tail end of a very long line going down the hall to the sanctuary. Lots of people turned out for the funeral. Grits' personal mafia from Huntsville all came, as did her extensive family. Someone even came all the way from a mission in Peru.
Grits greeted us at the end of the line. She was a calm, gracious, and at peace as she always is. We also got to shake hands with her other son Robbie and his wife. Robbie was the first speaker. He is both handsome and charismatic. It was clear that he loved his little brother. It was also clear that he knew in his heart of hearts that his little brother was in a better place.
This is when we watched the video of Stephen as a little boy bouncing around singing the never ending song. Stephen's dad was playing the piano and Grits was filming. The joy in that little boy's heart jumped out of the screen and danced before us as vividly as if he was there in person.
Then Grits' brother, a minister, spoke. It was nice. He is as calm and centered as his sister. In fact, it was evident that everyone in her family shared an assurance that God was there and that God had already taken Stephen into God's mighty arms.
Across the sanctuary from us was a man with a teenage son in a wheelchair very similar to Stephen's wheelchair. His son was happy and smiling. Dad had his hand over his forehead. We could see that dad saw his son in that coffin one day soon. The picture of the happy and carefree son and the father that saw his son's future in a coffin like Stephan's tore at my heart in ways that I can never express.
The minister spoke next. Most of you have been to funerals where the minister opens up with "Although I never knew . . . " This was not one of those occasions. The minister knew Stephen and loved him. We heard stories about Stephen and his life delivered with an artless fondness.
A barbershop quartet sang several songs including the ever moving Amazing Grace. Stephen's uncle was a member of the group. If anyone did not feel the Holy Spirit flooding into their soul, they were not paying attention.
Let me put it this way. Sine, who is a lifelong high church aficionado, told me he wanted to attend a regular service at Grits' church.
I am an intellectual snob. No doubt about it. Stephen and Grits have made me wonder if all my pride in intellectual understanding of theology means anything like the faith that Grits ans Stephen have.

Here's a link to the video that was shown at the funeral. The funny video of Stephen singing was from home movies, so I can't link to it. I wish you could see it, too.

So sorry to see this, Grits.
Watching the video and reading through this thread, it's beautiful to see how much light Stephen's short life brought to the world. God bless him and all those who knew and loved him.
