That's how I feel... mentally, physically... I haven't posted anything in what feels like forever because I just feel like crap. So I will go back a few weeks...
The weekend before Thanksgiving, we went over to my grandma's house and re-roofed her house. It was cold, snowy, not to mention, the day that BSU played. I have not worked that hard in years. I ripped off shingles, laid tar paper, ripped up old boards and nailed on shingles. 3 large blisters, a hole in my hand from setting my hand on a hidden nail, 2 HUGE bruises on my leg and knee from the crowbar and 3 days later... we finished! I can mark that one off my list of things to do before I die... even though it was never on there to begin with.
And then on Wednesday, Rob came down with a cold. I got it on Friday, Briyanna and Berlyn on Saturday. It sucks. I am so miserable!
Sunday had to be my worst day by far. I just laid on the couch in misery. Rob got a call from our friend up at the church camp we have worked with for a few years. A young man that we worked with died over the weekend in a tragic accident at Celebration Park. It has been all over the news channels and newspapers. So as I sat there on the couch feeling sorry for myself, it felt like a large grey cloud rolled over me. It is still numbing. Rob just took him to a board meeting, a month ago today. And everytime I flip through the numbers in my phone, I run across his phone number. And all I can think is... He's dead! Everytime someone dies that I don't think should, it brings me back to reality! We are all so fragile! Hold the ones you love a little closer because you may never see them again... or they may never see you again.

Oh man... I knew when I saw the news report about that kid that I'd likely know SOMEONE who knew him. I'm sorry for you.
Hope you are enjoying blogging, keep it up!!
