I don't deal well with death and tend to avoid all wakes/funerals so I can just sit around all my life in denial.<br /><br />I am 40 and have been to 2 funerals/memorial services. TWO.

I was in the car today and randomly switched to a station right when this new Steven Curtis Chapman song came on- you know, the singer who's five year old daughter got accidentally backed over by an SUV driven by her brother? And the song was about how heaven to him now was just getting to see her smile again, and all the rest of the wonderful things that might be waiting didn't even matter compared to that. God it had me crying. I can't imagine how he himself got through singing it without breaking down. And now this story... There is too much pain in this world. Sigh. I'm so sorry for the family, and for Josie, having to process the idea that dads can die.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07141742419364168878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410765988179779659.post-62869469836422554602009-10-15T10:56:40.514-04:002009-10-15T10:56:40.514-04:00Oh, that is really sad.Oh, that is really sad.Marie Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830798429713169174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410765988179779659.post-83188875375147314832009-10-15T06:42:10.623-04:002009-10-15T06:42:10.623-04:00That must be so hard for a child to understand.

I know she's young, but she might feel better being involved and being supportive of her friend. What a tragedy for your community.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380583632901267466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410765988179779659.post-39935273391527327512009-10-14T22:10:36.945-04:002009-10-14T22:10:36.945-04:00One of Rob's classmates died a couple of years...One of Rob's classmates died a couple of years ago, and we had the same problem with the card section.
