My brother called tonight with some terrible news! He had just called my aunt to talk about some family business and was told by my aunt that she had found her grandson unresponsive in his room. She called 911, but by the time they arrived he was already gone! He was a young man and we don't know yet what happened, but whatever it was that took his life - you have to wonder why. They are a close and loving family with a strong faith in the Lord and I know that they will get through this time, but how dreadful to have to go through the death of a child. Please pray for this family that they may be comforted. I was afraid that Mom would have a hard time with the news, but when I told her she was very calm. I'm not sure she really understood what was happening, because she was asking very odd questions and coming up with scenarios that made no sense. Maybe that's better, she really doesn't need another death to dwell on.
I look at my own family and am so thankful. God has been good to all of us! I am in a middle child of a big family, very loving and always there for each other. I have five brothers and sisters, all of whom are married with children. One brother and I both have grandchildren. We did suffer the loss of one - my nephew who lived only a few minutes after his birth. When you look at our family - all 49 of us, including my Mom - we are extremely blessed that all of us are alive and healthy!
My own family, three married daughters, a 16-year old son and four grandchildren. I can't imagine losing any of them! They are all so precious to me!
Michael, Elizabeth and Addyson came for dinner tonight. They are looking at houses out this way and thinking of moving back. I, of course, will be very happy for them to be closer to us again! I miss seeing them as often as I used to. I talk to them on the phone almost every day - but there's a lot to be said about having them close enough to touch!
Mom has done well these last couple of days. She's been sleeping a lot - but continues to feel tired. I have a good friend, that I've know for about the last nine years. I worked with her and have really missed spending time with her since I left my job. We had talked about getting together with some of our other friends at work, but since Mom is home with me, it's hard for me to get out of the house. My friend and I talked today and I think I will just plan a "tea" or something and have them come out here to the house. I'm really excited to see them and want to start planning our get-together right away! I haven't seen them now in a few months. It will be good to see them again!
