Tragedy

Today was just like any other day.

Jeron and JJ headed off to church

and us girls came a little bit later.

We ended up missing the opening announcements in our Sacrament Meeting.

I sit down and Jeron informs me that a young mother in our ward had been killed in a horrible car accident last night.

The tears would not stop coming.

I am just so sad.

Camie was a beautiful woman and I know she is a beautiful angel.

She was a pioneer in her own family.

She was a loving mother.

She was a wonderful wife.

The world lost a beautiful woman today.

My heart is broken.

Broken for her 2 boys

Broken for her husband

Broken for her family.

I can't seem to wrap my head around this horrible tragedy.

JJ is friends with her son and he has spent a lot of time in their home or going with them to dinner and just having fun.  It is so hard to believe that she is gone.  She would always tell me how much she loved JJ and what a good boy he is.  We were not close but I did appreciate her kindness towards my son.

It is times like this that I am so grateful for my knowledge that we have a loving Heavenly Father who is very aware of us.  We will be able to see those who pass on before us again.  Families can be together forever.  We need to remember what Christ taught us.  To mourn with those who mourn and comfort those that stand in need of comfort.  I was reminded today to take an extra minute to hug my kids a little tighter, listen a little better, snuggle with my husband, just appreciate all the miracles we have in our lives every day, and PRAY.  Pray unceasingly.
