Don’t be sad for him, because he had the perfect life - a life wrapped in love by his family and in the word of the Lord and blessed by the Lord. Asher also showed us how valuable our time is here on earth. Every second of every day needs to count and have purpose. Forgive and forget. Love and be loved.
