Hi all,
Yesterday, we had the memorial service for my former student who was killed in a car accident last week.

If you take a moment, could read and then just go hug everyone in your family. It's been a hard week for our little community here.

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

That was a beautiful blog post Wendy, and I can totally understand the yearning to ask WHY? May God bless his family and wrap HIS arms around them during this difficult time. Very sad to loose such a young life.
Peace be with you.
Hugs,

Wendy, thanks for sharing. It was sad yet beautiful. We always seem to ask why God, but never really understand. God bless his family and prayers sent there way.

hey Wendy. Happy to meet you. Yes, there is no obvious answer tot the seemingly absurd cause of a loved one's death. Only, I know there is far too much of it happening and being somehow justified in the world. Like begets like? To a certain degree this is true. What we spend time thinking on tends to come about more frequently. Perhaps putting a remembrance video together would help everyone connect to the very positive memories of A, rather than the loneliness of the separation.
Enjoyed the blog. I think there is goodness in Nomadic traits...but understand the comfort of sameness too. Seems there must be a middle ground somewhere.

Thanks for taking the time to look over there. This has really caused my husband and I to stop and take more time with the boys. We've been on autopilot with them for a while. Now, we are putting things into place to be more purposeful with our time with the kids and just enjoy being our family again!
