You've Got Mail...

I thought chapel was very good today.  Lynn spoke on letting the people you care about know that you care about them.  I left chapel with tears in my eyes.

About 11:45 today my mother left me a voice mail.  When I heard her voice I knew something was wrong.  As I listened I realized why she was so upset.  A lady from my home church was killed in a car accident this morning.  She was about my parent's age and she has a son a little older than me.  Her and her husband were good friends to my parents.  I knew her well because I grew up in the church.  I guess what I'm feeling is shock and hurt.  I'm not sure I have the words to describe how I feel.  I guess I feel like I'm going to have a breakdown because life has been so stressful in the last month.  Right now, nothing else matters to me.  Papers don't matter, tests don't matter, and even reading doesn't matter.  Life matters.  Why does it take a tragedy for us to realize the preciousness of every breath we breath.

 

I don't understand why we have to travel roads such as these.  I'm tired of trying to figure it out. I know all of these I have experienced in the past month is not about me--but what is it about and why....
