Texts

It has been a rough week.

Among other hard things, we had a death in our family.  My sister-in-law was killed in an accident.  She had three little boys.  Her husband is now a single dad.  So many emotions accompany a tragedy like this one, including the sadness I feel for her children.  I lost a parent to cancer when I was 7.  I know the hard road that lies ahead for those sweet boys.  I also know the miracles God allows to children who have angel parents.

I have been overwhelmed by little things like having to check my phone messages.  There are so many of them.  I appreciate text messages right now.  They require less emotional energy to manage.  Sometimes reading is easier than talking or listening when you are sad.

Lisa, who? One of Toph's sisters?

I wondered why you hadn't been posting. I'm so sorry.

Oh Lisa, that is terrible news. I'm so sorry. I'll be thinking about that little family when I say my prayers tonight. So much sadness; although I know there is a purpose for hard things, it still breaks my heart to think of the heartache so many must go through in this life.

I love you Lisa. I know that Heavenly Father puts things in our path for a reason. You will be a strength to that little family. You are such a strong person. You have been an amazing source of strength to me also. Please let me know if I can help you in ANY way. You are in our prayers. Please know how much I love you.
