Bittersweet

I am in a hotel room, typing, crying, listening to my entire family sleep, feeling blessed that we are all together. In the past week I feel truly blessed to be who I am, with a family that I love.
I came across the Sullenger Family Blog this past week. A heartbreaking story of a little girl who fell in the canal in Rigby, Idaho over the 4th. She was life flighted to PCMC, and returned to her heavenly home Friday afternoon.
Another, a child who was born strong and beautiful, and by 6 months had what they determined was Lou Gehrig's. They lost her in December 2009. A "birthday party" was held in Farmington, Ut. yesterday to celebrate, and raise awareness.
And lastly, my sweet friend, and co-worker Melaine Kalis lost her husband in a tragic helicopter accident at the airport in SLC on Friday.
I cant type, I cant make sense, I am just babbling with emotions that I can not type out. I feel blessed and saddened all in the same gulp of air.
Pray harder, love deeper, live stronger.
