Taken By Surprise - death

We know death is something we will all experience but when it comes to someone unexpectedly it throws you for a loop. I was caught off guard yesterday. While my hubby was working in the yard our neighbor came over to tell us sad news. His wife had been in the hospital the past week and she had passed away on Wednesday. It was totally unexpected. I am still in shock. They had moved down from Connecticut recently. She was very sweet and had been in a serious accident at her work when she lived up North. The accident had caused permanent brain damage. Her daughter several months back had their first grandchild and she enjoyed being able to visit with her and love on her.

I continue to be reminded to enjoy every day to the fullest and major on the important things like family and friends. Sharing my love and encouraging them to excel in their lives is so important. Just being there for them is important. My walk with God becomes more important every day bc without Him I can do nothing. What minor thing are you majoring on? Maybe its time to let it go and enjoy your life.

I'm so sorry to hear this. That shock is something that just can't be described. I'm so sorry.

So sad to lose somebody too soon. I was reminded of the song you introduced me to, "I Can Only Imagine" by Mercy Me and when I listened to it on YouTube, this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT7x3VnrqbA) was recommended in the sidebar. I think you'll really like it, Dove.
