Life.....

Yesterday we all found out that one of my high school classmates was killed in a car accident early that morning. He was on his way home from work in Mountain Home and fell asleep at the wheel. He was really close to being home when it happened...It has only just begun to sink in..I went through all of yesterday and it never really dawned on me what had happened...I felt the same I as I always did..like everything was normal..Today about 10:30 or so, it began to really hit home. I started to think about all of the unforgettable times that our whole class had together and how I will really miss his wonderful personality and heartwarming laugh but as I sit here and write I realize that you haven't ever really lost someone if you care about them. No I won't see his truck in town anymore, but everytime I see the same make and model of the one he drove, I will think about him and everytime I go to the fair (where we ALL spent so much time) memories of him helping me lead sheep and shovel shavings will come back. I just really don't like the fact that those memories are all we have left of him..I don't understand...but then again I'm not supposed to...it's all part of a much bigger plan which all works out just the way it is supposed to...because it's God's plan...

Please pray for his family and friends...the healing process is never easy nor short-lived.
