You just never know
I was told today that two of the students at our school lost the Dads this weekend. They were both sudden and obviously very tragic.I don't have any details surrounding either death, with the exception of the cause. Mr. H. died of a massive heart attack. His son is a fourth grade student whom I know quite well and just saw Friday afternoon. I remember telling him to have a good weekend. Ugh!
Mr. K. was killed in an accident. I don't know what type of accident as of now. His son is a second grade student that I also know.
It's a horrifying thought, that in just a split moment in time, two women lost that husbands and two little boys are now without their Dad. What a harsh reminder that it could have been me that lost my husband and the father of my children, should it have been another day.
Remember to tell the ones you love just how much they mean to you. It's scary to think you may not get another chance.
Please, keep these families in your thoughts and prayers, for they have a long road ahead of them.

My Mother and her friend were inches away from being struck by a tractor trailer that went through a red light. Thankgod is alI can say...You just never know.
That is just so tragic. I am so very sorry for those families.
Anna's (4th grade) classmate's father had a heart attack two weeks ago. It blew me away; I never think of the possibility of that happening to people our age, but it does.
I'll keep the families in my prayers.

It just goes to chow; we should live our lives to the fullest; every moment.
Take Care,

It eats me up inside when I hear those things... that is why every hug and kiss is so special!

That is terrible. You're right, it's crazy how in an instant our lives could suddenly change. I pray for those little boy's families. I hope in the long run they will be ok.
I'm visiting from Christina's blog...
How horrible about the two losses in your town.
Life really can be altered permanently in a moment. DH and I don't part without telling each other how much we care or telling our kids.
So sorry to hear about the loss. Those poor little boys and their Mommy's have a long road ahead of them. Thank you for the reminder to "kiss, hug, squeeze" (Loo's saying) my family as often as possible. Have a great weekend.
How very, very sad. The families are in my thoughts & prayers. fzj
