A Sad Surprise

Alex's parents saw how sad he was and decided to help him find comfort. They told Alex that God is always there to help us through sad times. They prayed together, asking God to help Buddy feel better and to give Alex strength. Alex felt a little better knowing that he wasn't alone.
