A Sad Day for our Family

This is a sad post. Yesterday afternoon, the younger brother of my middle son's best friend, drowned in a tragic swimming accident. Eric was only 20 years old, and just beginning to live his adult life. The saddest part is, my husband (a police officer) had the grim task of notifying his mother. This is the second child she has lost, and both times my husband had to be the one for the family to lean on. While it is his job (and he does it well) it really hits him hard when it is someone he knows, especially a young person. When her daughter died, my husband was the officer that answered the call.

Today, almost 24 hours after the accident, we are still waiting on the 'dive team' to recover the body. This seems to be almost inconceivable to me...

Michael and Josh have been friends since the fifth grade. They are now room mates. Josh survived a tour in Iraq. Now, he comes home and looses his little brother. Somehow it doesn't seem fair to me. But I know God has His own plan.

Sending prayers to the family and wishing for prayers from you for this family.
