Oh.

Sh*t.

Isn't that your brother's friend?

I'm sorry.

What's so funny?

Look at your brother.

You look at him.

Are you okay?

Do you wanna talk about Ian, honey?

No.

Can I go to sleep?

Okay.

Do you want me to get the light?

Sure.

Hi, my name is Courtney

and I went to school with

Ian ever since I was little.

Ian was a very nice boy.

He was always there to help.

One day, we were taking a math test

and my pencil broke,

so he gave me his.

Also in gym class once,

we were playing dodgeball

and I got hit in the arm.

He came over just to

make sure I was okay.

I can't remember one time

that he was mean to me.

I miss Ian very much and

I know that his dad

must be really sad right now,

and I hope he feels better soon.

I hope that we all keep,

Ian's dad in our prayers.

And in our hearts.

And I just know that he's going

through a really tough time

I guess it's a...

Hard time for you, right?

Well, you need to know that...

The lord has a plan.

The lord has a plan for Ian.

You know that, right?

- Excuse me?

- He wanted this to happen?

Did I want it to happen?

- He, the lord.

- Oh, the lord.

Well, he works in mysterious ways.

And he has a plan for, bigger than any

of us could ever possibly understand.

And sometimes things happen that...

You know, life's just tough.

No, the lord didn't want him to die.

But he did die.

He guides and protects us all,

so he was protecting Ian.

You need to know that, young man.

God bless you, sir. Good night.

You too, Paul. Thank you

so much for coming.

He's with the lord now, son.

Don't you worry.

- Hi. Um...

- If this dog gets on my property again...

I'll f***ing shoot it, okay?
