Search & Win

I hate to stay on this topic. The topic of death, but I am just so devastated today. I woke up to find that one of my old High School friend's husband passed last night. He was our age. It is just not fair. I don't still talk to this friend regularly. Just the usual you look great, your kids are cute, etc on facebook, etc. But it still just pains my heart just as if she was one of my close friends today. She had three kids. Two boys that were 6 & 4 and a new baby girl who was about 3 months. I just feel so much for her and those kids. I can't imagine how she is going to explain to them what happened to their Daddy. I just don't know how she is going to get up each morning. I keep thinking, hoping that it is a bad dream for her. That I am going to wake up and realize this did not happen to her. I just couldn't imagine being in her place. I mean, I still feel the pain of losing my Mom. But let's be honest, we are supposed to lose parents. I mean, you prepare for this as you get older. It doesn't make it easier. But your husband is not supposed to leave you in the middle of your wonderful life together. Your husband is not supposed to leave his 6 & 4 year old sweet, sweet boys. He is not supposed to leave a 3 month old little girl who will have no memories of her father. I can't imagine how much my friend's life is crashing in on her right now. I can't imagine when it will start to feel better.

Gosh, ok already, this is 3 people in the last two weeks. So it is done for a while right?

Note to self:

1.) Get DJ a physical
2.) Get life insurance for you and DJ. (i know, i know- ridiculous we haven't done this yet.)
3.) Kiss DJ when he gets home with lots of passion
4.) Live life everyday with a purpose.

I believe that God uses these tragedies as a wake up call and reminder to the rest of us to be grateful for our blessings. AND to call us to help those in need. I pray for your friends.
