I have been meaning to write. There are so many things that I want/need to write about... but I have struggled to find the time. Tonights entry is not so much about my personal loss, but tragedy in general. It has been a difficult weekend for my friends and work family...for a wonderful young woman and a close knit community. Why? you ask...Tragedy. It happens. We all know that, we all see it, we all hear it and we all struggle to explain it. But when it hits you close to home....it feels like a dagger right through the heart. It isn't supposed to happen to me, to us, to my friends. But it can, and it did. It happened to me...and my life was suddenly turned upside down. My husband was gone in an instant and there was nothing I could do to change that. Now it has happened to my friend.
An entire community prays for good news, while his mother struggles with the thought of life without him, praying for a miracle. None of us really know what to say to her, to the family. With someone so young, you can't say "he had a good life." With someone so healthy, you can't say "perhaps now he'll be at peace." There is no magic phrase. "Everything DOESN'T happen for a reason." Right now... "there IS no silver lining." There is simply pain and sadness. Even those with the strongest faith struggle to understand God's plan. So for tonight, we pray, we send positive thoughts, we kiss our children goodnight and then go back and do it again...and hope. We Hope.
Tonight I go to bed with a heavy heart. Good night my friends... good night my love. Please watch over this young man and his family like you do us. Miss you. Love you. </3
