Our Days Are Numbered

I sit here numb. Death is never an easy thing. Especially when it takes the life of someone so small. Susana is with Jesus. And while those words make my heart flood with joy, my heart throbs for the daddy and mommy that lost their baby girl today. It throbs for the sweet sister who lost her best friend. I celebrate the life of my precious boy today while they are enduring the pain of a loss. It just doesn't seem fair. How can we possibly wrap our minds around something like this?
Life is but a vapor.
God's plan is greater.
OUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

We will never know all of the answers. We will never have life figured out.
The unsettling grounds of "what if" will shake us as parents many times along this journey. And while pain does not flow well with all that we have in mind to attain in our future, it is part of this world and the great catalyst for challenging us to love bigger and better everyday.

I pray desperately for this family. If only to have the unshakable faith, hope, and strength that this family has.
