Today started out great. I went to a fantastic workout (yes, it killed me!) at the park today with my gym. I raced home to shower and to get to my office for a business meeting. So many good things are happening and I got product for my new releases- next month! As I was walking out the door, I got a phone call from my husband. He wanted to let me know that our neighbors daughter was killed last night. I was in such shock that I could barely drive home. I think words are not even enough to express how hard it hit me. I know the parents- they go to church with our family, and their daughter was only 24 years old. I did not really know their daughter that well since she is a bit older than most of our kids. I just kept thinking of the family and the pain they must be going through. I can't imagine.... The TV news stations kept going by our home. Their home was surrounded by cars. I prayed all day for their family. I simply know that it is the biggest fear we have as parents... to loss a child. I walked around in a daze. I called all my kids and talked to them.
LIFE is so fragile! I KNOW every day is a gift and still I take things for granted. I wish I could help this family in some way. I know that they are suffering such a tremendous loss. She was hit by a car - a hit and run- on her bicycle. The driver did not stop. It is truly something that makes my blood boil. WHO would do this and not stop and help? The family deserves to have closure. This girl was a angel on earth and I will always remember her constant smile. Matt knew her and said she was just the nicest girl. I hope that you will join with me and pray for this family and pray for the driver who hit their daughter to come forward. I feel helpless and wish I could somehow know what to do to help their family.
Today I want to share a mini book made by Cindy Cain using the Timeless and Posh collections. I love it! I love the chipboard covers and how she inked the smokey black along the book edges.
