Death

Death is always an interesting thing. It's been overshadowing my fiance and I's life the past few days. One of our groomsman's (for our wedding) dad passed away very suddenly this week. It is hard to understand why it happened and has left everyone extremely distraught. I did not know his dad very well at all-maybe met him once or twice but I'm so sad for our friend, for his family. It was so unexpected and it has left everyone with more questions than answers.

There is nothing you can say that will make him come back. You can only be there to listen, to hug and to pray. Life will go on but it will never be the same for his family.

I believe it is all part of God's plan but it does not make it any easier or make it so that we understand it-not even a little bit.

Today, I am grateful for: family, friends, God.

I'm sorry for your loss and keep smiling.
