This weekend took an unexpected turn. I’m still not sure I believe it. I wanted to share with my family here, in hopes of asking for encouragement. I’ve not been able to write for a couple of days. I just need time. Sometimes, it takes moments like this, to shake up the norm. I just feel removed from the situation, numb. Only God knows the whys.

Over the weekend, I lost a dear friend. Completely unexpected. She was not only my Teacher Assistant, but a very close friend and spiritual sister. I don’t have all the details about what happened. Our lives are so precious. I don’t know if I have accepted, she’s gone. It feels like a dream, but I can’t wake. I will miss my friend.

Please pray for the family. She left behind a daughter with 2 young grandchildren, and a 19 year old son. All of my prayers have been focused on the family. I asked for your help to pray. The family is trying their best to cope, but its really taking a toll on them. Please keep them in your prayers.

Thank You,

P.S. I will return next week.
