I can't even imagine

Can you imagine that in one moment your whole life can change?

I can't even imagine and don't ever want to. Tonight a wife and mother will spend a night alone in her bed. Wake up and think, try to go back to sleep only to wake up and think some more.

Tonight a young woman who is two weeks from going off to college is without a Dad. It breaks my heart that this friend of mine is going through this. I didn't hear about it until today and ran out to see her. I just had to find out if there wasn't some kind of mistake or if I could do anything.

I would have been there sooner but I got lost...what a goof!!

I don't know if he was saved or what he believed or if he even believed in God. It's odd that when someone is gone that question pops into your head. Shouldn't that be asked at some point before death? Some people would even say that it's none of your business.

But I can't help but wonder. I see Carolyn and pray that everything will be alright. I totally lost it in front of people tonight asking for prayer for her and her daughter...I don't normally do that...loose it.

I guess maybe in my old age I'm softening up. Maybe I look at my own children or husband and I can't even imagine one of them not being there. It would be like an arm or leg missing, well, not really but a huge chunk would be gone.

In one moment everything changes...

Please keep the Bolding family in your prayers.

Dreama,

Thanks for stopping by my space. God has blessed me and sometimes my heart just overflows. I don't know this person you mention in this blog, but I pray for her and her mother.

Blessings to you and yours,
Dale

Cherie,
Please continue to keep them in your prayers!

Dale,
Thanks! I know that Carolyn and Cara both will appreciate all of our prayers. You might remember them from band or at least Erin might. Cara played one of the bass drums for 3 years. Oh by the way...cute grandbaby!
