Today I stood in the rain on a cold mountainside with a group of my friends as we bade farewell to Brandon Hayslip,a young man Ive known for all of his life,a too short 33 years of life. It broke my heart to look into the weeping eyes of his mama,and father,little brother and widow.It doesnt seem right to be a widow at 30,and it never seems right to watch a mother bury her son. But,we did it,we buried him like he wanted,high on a lonely mountain,as the sun dissolved into a foggy rain. It was surreal. And with Pastor Carter,his daughter Kate and a friend singing this Vince Gill graveyard standard there wasnt a dry eye on the hillside. We prayed and sang Amazing Grace together,then drove down that long winding mountain road....as the sun broke through the clouds and the Son bound up our broken hearts. Go rest high on that mountain Brandon Hayslip,son your work in life is done.
