I’ve been going back and forth on whether or not to post about this here….
Our town has been hit by not one but two tragedies…two people, a 6-year old kindergartner, and a husband and father of 3 were killed in separate freak accidents when tree branches fell on them due to the weight of the recent snow. To say that people here are shocked and devastated would be an understatement…. it’s just been too much to wrap your head around.
I didn’t know the little girl or her family, but my heart breaks for them. I did know the man…I had been lucky enough to get to know him in the past couple of years working together on our town’s youth lacrosse program. He was truly one of the good ones….I have no words.
These events are cruel reminders that there truly are no guarantees. It is also a reminder to live life with joy and passion, pursuing those things that make our hearts soar. It is a reminder to not let fear stand in your way…to not put off goals and dreams. It is a reminder to tell those most important in your life just how much they mean to you.
Thanks for letting me share….
How awful. I am so sorry for you loss.
Yes…yes….yes… live life with joy and passion, pursuing those things that make our hearts soar. It is a reminder to not let fear stand in your way…to not put off goals and dreams. It is a reminder to tell those most important in your life just how much they mean to you.
Thank you for the reminder!!
Healing g prayers to you and your town.

Oh my gosh, Michelle, I am so sorry. I do thank you for sharing, though, because we need to remember that every moment of life is a gift. (((hugs)))
That is terrible, I am sorry to hear this about your community!
Your right life is precious, we definitely need to remember to live it as though each day is precious and not do things that we will have regrets for having done!
