Life... is short and precious

you never know when you are going to be called home. We need to live each day like it is our last, laugh as much as you can, love with all of your heart and cherish your family and friends deeply. Didn't sleep that much this weekend. after hearing the terrible tragedy that happened to the Notre Dame community. It hit so close to home. I didn't know any of the girls in the accident, but I kept thinking how awful for those parents who had to take that long drive to get to their children - it is a parent's worst nightmare - to get a call saying your child has been injured or worse yet has been killed. - My heart is just heavy with grief and goes out to all of the family and friends affected by such a tragedy.

It just goes to show you - we are not in control down here - it isn't up to us - when he is ready for us, he will let us know. As hard as it is, forget about the heartaches, forget about the friend who has mistreated you, forget about the past - live, LIVE in the present and live to be happy, take each day as it is the last and enjoy every single moment of it. Give an extra hug and kiss to your children tonight - hold them tightly and treasure your moments here on earth.

May God be with the families and friends at NDA that have been affected by this tragedy. May he console them and give them comfort in this time of grief. May they continue to turn towards him and to have faith and not turn away - as hard as it is, God will get you through it -
