It seems that I know more young folks that have met their reward than old folks. Love freely and forgive easily, our lots are not guaranteed.

I just posted this on the other thread. Sorry for the cut & paste.


Thank you everyone. David is right--you all mean a lot to us. This place has been like an extended family. You cannot imagine how much it means to me right now to know how many people are saying prayers for her. It is truly appreciated all. And they are helping. Steph has been fairly strong today. She has had to call all of his friends to tell them and most of them think she and Mike are playing a joke on them. It has been a hard day for her but she is staying strong. I did let her stay here again tonight. She just couldn't face going there today. But she said she wants to go home tomorrow. She knows it will be hard but she knows she needs to go home.

Please continue to keep them in your prayers. There is a family service tomorrow afternoon with the services on Tuesday morning. It is going to be a rough couple days but then she can start healing.



Cathy, you are an angel to us. You can't imagine how much your friendship means to me. Thank you for everything.




And David. Thank you. I know this has been rough on you too. Our house has been turned upside down. Please bear with me while I help Steph. You mean the world to me and I think all of this has just hit me on how fast someone can be gone. I can't imagine life without you. And this really scared me. I almost lost you once and this has brought up a lot of those feelings. When the dr told me you almost died I couldn't bear it. We were lucky. I got you back. Steph wasn't so lucky. I remember how much of a mess I was and you survived. I just can't imagine how she is handling this. So please just give me a little extra leeway. I love you with all my heart and soul. Please never forget that.

post #42 is what Christmas is truly about. prayers en route.

Lauren and Dave,
Words cannot describe the sorrow I feel for your family at this trying time. I can only pray that the good lord will give your daughter and her babies strength to get through this. I will continue to pray for their strength, thankfully they have you to be strong for them when they cannot be.

Continued prayers.

Thanks.
