Sometimes, you just have to cry. God puts special angels on


Sep 15, 2022, 8:46 AM

this earth ever now and then. You see them, battling illnesses where any "normal" person would just be beaten down, miserable. But, they aren't. From some inner well, they draw strength to keep a positive outlook on life, and be happy in spite of the sadness. Ella Bresee was one of them. I never knew her personally, like many of us. But, never did I see a single picture, or hear a single conversation, where she was not upbeat, smiling, and uplifting those around her, when it should have been the other way around.

She reminded me so much of another of them, who joined Jesus several years ago, named Joey Feek. Cancer destroyed both their earthly bodies, but it could never impact their joyful souls at all. For those who have that inner light, Cancer does not win. Death does not win. God just calls them home after a job well done, trying to teach the rest of us how to live life to the fullest, even when it is being taken away sooner than it should be.

I am not ashamed to admit that this old man shed tears this morning when I read the news of Ella Bresee's passing. Even though I know she has won the ultimate battle, as humans, sometimes we just have to cry.

I hope the Clemson community will come up with something very special to honor the memory of this courageous young woman.
