I
thought I had my day planned out. I was feeling good about
everything and then I got a facebook message. My cousin told me
about her sister’s daughter who they found dead at 44 years of age.
What makes this story even more tragic is that a few years ago this
family lost their other daughter at a young age too. So, now I have
a cousin who had two children and has seen both of them pass away at
young ages. I cannot imagine the pain. Your children born and died
before you very eyes.
Life
does not always go the way we plan. Today I am asking God to be with
my cousin and her family. I am also going to do what I can do to
help but I know the pain will not only be with them for a long time
but in many ways always there. Today celebrate life with me. It is
short and it is a gift.
