Heavy Heart

Hold tight to your most precious joys
make memories, laugh a lot
love more,
give & accept lots of hugs because it could all be gone in the blink of an eye.

This past week I've had a heavy heart. Anytime I hear something bad it takes me a while to shake it. It all started Sunday afternoon. I logged on to facebook and I ran across a friend from back home , her status read Please pray for the Randy Zollars family. It was my cousin. I didn't know at first what to do , so I sent a message to my friend. I asked if she could tell me what was going on. She told me that Randy who is 51 passed away in his sleep. He had a heart attack. Wow 5 yrs older than me and the same age as Paul my hubby.

It always seems to rock me harder when it is someone close to my age. I think how unfair it is. It isn't really , m for we aren't promised tomorrow. I called my Mom but she wasn't home. I talked to my sister later on. Apparently my Mom was gone and hadn't got the phone call.

Death has that sting and it's hard to shake. I have thought about it a lot this week. I know that no one but God knows the hr or day or minute that this life on earth will end for any of us. One thing I can be thankful for is that Randy knew the Lord. I know that it is hard for his wife and two boys but I know they will see him again. I know that being far from family is tough but you should make the most of everyday , No matter where you are.
