Life Is Short

When I woke up this morning I had plans to write an amusing little blog entry. That all changed when I read a friend's blog. I actually clicked through a friends to another friend and that's when I saw it. She talked about her friend Kathy dying suddenly and leaving behind (and I'm thinking, no please don't say it) 3 daughters. OH NO...how many Kathys live in Tulsa and have 3 daughters that go to Jenks. I started a frantic search on the internet and found out it was a sweet friend of mine. She was 48 years old and died suddenly.

I first met Kathy when I was pregnant with my youngest...over 6 years ago. She and I had an instant bond because of the 3 daughters connection. She was so sweet with me over the years. She always encouraged me and really showed me the kind of Mom I hoped to be. Her life is cut way too short. She leaves behind a loving husband and 3 sweet daughters, parents and inlaws and siblings. My heart is breaking for her daughters today. They range in age from senior in high school to 9th grade. Life is short. And precious. And should never be taken for granted. We take comfort in the fact that she trusted Jesus as her Lord and Savior and is in a much better place.

Thanks, Kathy, for the life that you lived.
