Sad Day

 When we moved here in 1990 my daughter was in her last year of elementary school.  She made a few friends but by that time the cliques were already created, you know.  So, when she went to middle school the next year she was introduced to more kids from surrounding schools — I guess maybe four or five schools fed into that middle school.

One of the friends she made that has ended up being a lasting friendship was Brooke.  They were in middle school together, high school together, drill team together, went to church together and are friends to this day.

Brooke has an older sister and a younger brother.  They lost their mother in 1999 from a very freakish illness.

Yesterday the brother decided to remove himself from this life.

He leaves a 5 year old daughter. 

It is very sad.

If you are the praying sort, prayers for this child and the family as a whole would be much appreciated.  It is an understatement to say they aren’t doing well.  

And now, just to lighten things up a bit is Trixie saying good morning.
