Blessed!

I am sure unless you are living under a rock you have heard about the shooting in Colorado. The mad man who went on a shooting spree at the new Batman movie. How devastating. My heart is so heavy and goes out to the families who were affected by it. Can you imagine? You send your kids out to go see a movie just like all of the other times, or you are there whether on a first date, a night out without the kids, you are there with friends, just to have a good time and watch a good movie and something like this happens.

I never understand it why things happen like this. Why does God allow it to happen? Where are that shooter's family and friends? Couldn't they help him? Did they know? It is just sickening that this all happens. It just makes me want to hug and kiss my kids, my friends, my family, and makes me want to make amends with things from the past...everything in your life can be gone, in an instant!! It makes you want to call up old friends you haven't spoken to in a long time and just say hey, i was thinking of you - hope all is well - even if that friend had hurt you - the past is the past right??

I-just-don't-get-it!

Another busy but fun weekend ahead of us. I don't know when it is going to slow down. It seems like at the beginning of the week we look and we see nothing on our calendar coming up for the weekend and then bam before you know it we have filled it with this and that. actually going to a wedding tomorrow, my favorite! I love weddings - it is a renewal of faith that love is real!

Just kind of a somber Friday - with the rain and the shooting - please take the time to embrace your family and friends, to make amends with a fight you may be having with a friend, to not waste time with those people who have hurt you, to forgive, to live... tomorrow is not promised and don't go without saying I love you to your loved ones..........................

Be blessed this weekend, hug and kiss your loved ones, reach out to that friend you may be fighting with, be thankful and be pray for the families out in Colorado. May God be with them as they try to understand why or how this could happen!

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love and happiness to all,
