Rough!

This week one of our friends lost her Mom to cancer. She was a lovely lady who was so caring, loving and gentle. I cannot imagine the pain that Missy and her family are feeling. Tonight Alex and I went to the calling hours with Gallagher and it was simply surreal. To be so young and lose your Mom. Ah, it makes me so so sad. Thankfully Missy has great friends and an amazing boyfriend that is supportive and wonderful. I am so glad that I went even though we have lost touch over the years. Life is so full of ups and downs and when there are tough times you band together NO MATTER WHAT has happened in the past. There is something to be said about referring to bad times as water under the bridge. I am so thankful that I was able to leave the water there and put my arms around her tonight. Friends come and they go, but sometimes you have to forget the bad things and just be there for people that are important. Please pray for Missy, Nick, Tonya, Chad, Lauren and Butch-they need all the prayers we can give them right now.
