Catching up

Well, once again, it has been a really long time since last I blogged. To be quite honest, I just haven't felt like it lately. It's been a rough month or so. A dear friend's husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor and he died within 5 days. 44yrs old. 4 kids-ages 9 to 15. Just boom, life is normal one day and within a week, everything is turned upside down. I will never forget her words to me in the hospital..."Susan, don't ever forget to kiss your husband goodbye or tell him you love him." Thank goodness she didn't have this regret since she and her husband were very loving to each other. I am just having a hard time wrapping my mind around why this would happen. I know all the pat answers...we live in fallen world, they will be reunited someday in heaven, he was prepared, blah, blah, blah... don't get me wrong, I know all that is true, in fact, I cling to it. It's just that, right now, it's hard. All I know is that she is suddenly a single mom to 4 kids that desperately need their father. 3 of those children are boys. And i just keep thinking, what if that were me, would i be able to be as strong as she is being? Would i be able to sing "How Great is Our God" at my husband's funeral? Not sure
And then, last wednesday at work, i get a call that they have found my husband's sister dead in her home. Even though she has been in very bad health for the last 10 years, it was still shocking to get that call. So.....I haven't felt much like blogging, but I have been faithfully reading all my friends blogs. Also, on a brighter note, my neice and her hubby had a beautiful baby boy -Whitaker Ty Tullos-born March 22 in Baton Rouge, LA-Congratulations-Tyler & Crystal!!!
