Elspeth- Exactly. Ch...Thank you all for replying. <br /><br />Elspeth- Exactly. Cherish now not tomorrow. That's perfect advise. xoxo<br /><br />Shannon- Thank you, Shannon. I know he needs all of our prayers right now. Thank you. xoxo<br /><br />DL- Thank you for thinking of him. Every good wish helps. xoxo <br /><br />Jemi- Thank you for commenting and for your thoughts. xoxo<br /><br />Rhonda- You said that beautifully. All we are guaranteed is right now. Don't wait 'til tomorrow to say I love you. Thank you for your prayers. xoxo<br /><br />Eva- Thank you, Eva. I'm glad you told your family you love them--that why I posted this. Just a reminder of how quickly we can lose what matters to us. xoxo<br /><br />Kelly- Thank you K. I love you and miss you cuz. xoxo<br /><br />Joann- I'm so glad you posted a comment. That's exactly what I had hoped my posting would do, help everyone to see what was important in life. Family and friends are all that we really have in our lifetime. xoxo<br /><br />Alan- Precisely! Life is short and tomorrow is iffy. Love with all your heart! xoxo<br /><br />Mary- I am a grumpy morning person, but this makes me want to tell my fiance I love him every time I see him, morning, noon, or night. Thanks for replying! xoxo<br /><br />Elizabeth- Oh, that's so horrible. My prayers are with your family. Thank you for posting this. It really helps us to see how precious each and every day is. Good bless. xoxo<br /><br />Carol- I don't think anyone plans for such a horrible loss. We can have previsions in place, just in case. Life insurance can help with funeral costs and such, but it can't erase the pain of losing a loved one. <br />I think his two boys will help to bring him through this--otherwise, I don't know what would happen. xoxoCourtney Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027695819270602098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100054699200456173.post-45520666176342687492010-01-28T11:49:23.235-06:002010-01-28T11:49:23.235-06:00Oh my word....

You a...Oh Courtney, I really am sorry to hear that. You are so right. We NEVER know when we will be called back home with the angels.<br /><br />On a cold day in November 3rd, a little boy turned two. His daddy was severely sick but thought it was best to go back to work because he had missed about two consecutive weeks already.<br /><br />He called his wife about ten that morning, telling her he was on his way to deliver lumber for his company and all she had to do was look out her window and see his truck winding up the mountainside.<br /><br />It was five hours later the highway patrolman visited the wife, declaring her husband dead while delivering the lumber.<br /><br />He never made it to the site. He had somehow lost control of the flatbed trailer and it shifted to the side and his truck rolled.<br /><br />He never made it back home to see his baby daughter born 12 days later, nor his son's 2nd birthday nor his daughter who was only 3.<br /><br />My sister is a strong woman to endure such a tragedy and I pray every day for my family's safety.<br /><br />You are so right. We can go at any moment. I feel we should live everyday as if it's going to be our last.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this, my heart is heavy but I will pray for your friend, his family and especially for that 3 year old--for that child will hurt all the way as does my niece who is now 8.Elizabeth Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028099814857743134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100054699200456173.post-10932877999284716522010-01-27T10:50:48.818-06:002010-01-27T10:50:48.818-06:00That is awful, having someone's family wrenche...That is awful, having someone's family wrenched away so suddenly.

I am so sorry, so sorry. Your words cou...Courtney,<br /><br />I am so sorry, so sorry. Your words could never ring truer than this morning. My sweet, 11 year old who is such a gentle soul, had a bad morning. She was sassy and not doing what she was told. Then, she announced she couldn't find her brand new glasses. I went up to her room to help her find them and was furious at the mess that was her room. I fussed at her all the way to school. She got out of the car with a sad, quiet goodbye. And as I pulled away, the thought crossed my mind: What if that were the last time I ever saw her. I was flooded with guilt and wanted to turn my car around and call to her for a big hug and a thousand "I love you's". But, she'd already disappeared into school. Today when she gets home, I will smother her in kisses and love and tell her what a great girl she is. A messy room, in the scheme of things, is so small in this grand scheme of life. <br /><br />I will pray for your coworker, that he finds peace and healing in his grief.Joann Mannixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163491824085428085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100054699200456173.post-1528752797014348442010-01-26T21:01:29.674-06:002010-01-26T21:01:29.674-06:00I so sorry this happened to your friend!
