just a few thoughts...

One of my very best friends in the entire world is having a very bad week. Last Saturday I got a text message from my little sister as I was on my way up to Logan for a genealogy conference. Her “little sister” Lariann was in critical care at the U of U hospital and “it didn’t look good” at that moment my heart started breaking and I started praying. A little over two hours later, as I was on my way home, I got another text which broke my heart completely, Lari was gone. I started crying (luckily I wasn’t driving) and have cried off and on since receiving the news. There is nothing as hard as feeling completely helpless in a situation like this.
