Neglected for so long, I decided to catch up with my postings. I HAVE Been Posting but on Facebook and not here.
I have been doing "DAILY" things - Cardiac Therapy, doctors, etc. and, life goes on. I had a lot of "old feelings" come flooding back to me recently. My next door neighbor's brother drown on Memorial Day.
Jorge, Nani's brother, was out in a boat with his father, adult cousin and two children, on Lake Toho.
Jorge was playing around, which was Jorge, and threw one of the kids into the lake. The kid was struggling a little, so Jorge jumped in and helped the kid back into the boat. The boat was drifting away from Jorge. His father looked back at Jorge and he was face down. They hurriedly turned the boat around, and Jorge was out of sight.
They found his body the next day, did an autopsy, and found no reason for his death except he drown. Forty-six is so young to die. And yet...
Charles got a call from a friend in Nashville. Their 12-year old son was in an accident. He had extensive brain damage, but was put on life support. Sunday they finally took him off the machines. His service is Wednesday and Charles is flying to Nashville tomorrow.
Within weeks, our lives have been "touched" by circumstances that no one could change. Two families devastated by loss. This is where I say, "God I don't understanmd your decisions in these GREAT loss. But I KNOW THAT I KNOW, THAT I KNOW You are still in control. And you love me. Help us to minister to each of these families in any way we can. We trust You!
