Loosing a child!

Today my friend got that phone call that every mother dreads. My friends daughter is dead. She was a daughter, a mother, a wife, a sister, a granddaughter, cousin and friend. There is a whole left in many lives where Shanda use to be. Even though Shanda is in the place where we all strive to go, we still hurt and mourn her passing. My heart breaks for my friend. There have been more deaths of young people than I can count lately. Lord I just pray for the families who must come to terms with thier loved ones being gone forever. As I read my friends post on face book "God you didnt even let me say goodbye" I just broke down and cried. A mother begging for just one more minute, one more opportunity. May we all use each minute to the fullest and appreciate the ones we love.
