Its never easy hearing that you have lost someone you love. But, it somehow harder when you lose someone that is so young and full of life. We expect that we will lose a parent, grandparent or elderly aunt. Never is it easy to find that a friend has lost her daughter.
My dear friend, Kari was informed earlier Sunday morning that her beautiful daughter Amy was thrown from an automobile and killed instantly. Amy only 18 years old a bright and beautiful girl who graduated as high school valedictorian two weeks before this tragic event. Amy had plans to attend a close by University in a few months. She had big plans for herself and within a minute those plans where extinguished.
There seems to be nothing I can do thousands of miles away but pray and send some money. Prayer is the healer of all things. God works wonders in people lives. He is the only one that can help a mother deal with her tragic loss. I know this but, yet I feel helpless. I feel that no matter what I say or do that it is not good enough. This is not about my feelings, this is about making sure I do everything I possible can.
This loss hits home so easily, my own daughter is only 21 and then I have 2 preschoolers. I grieve for Kari's loss, but I also grieve that this tragic event can happen to anyone, anywhere and at any time. It makes you want to hold on to your kids and hug them with everything you have. To tuck them in at night and make sure you kiss and hug them. To always remember that you say I LOVE YOU, everyday!
Tell your loved ones that you love them!!
Love,
