Some Things...

Just don't make sense, not matter how hard you make them try. The soldier who was diagnosed with meningitis last week, passed away Thursday night. Even though I didn't know him very well, words can describe how sad I am for his family.

I know how excited I was to have Michael home and to be able to put this deployment behind us. I feel like our life is starting a new chapter, and I can't wait to see what is going to happen next.

I can't imagine feeling this happy, and then suddenly, having my husband die. Can you? This wife probably thought her husband simply had the flu, and two days later he was declared brain dead.

Tonight, hold your loved ones a little closer, and don't waste your time on things that don't matter. Life is too short.

That article was nice. So sad, but nice. I wish these news stories would make the evening news. I feel like sometimes people forget.


In other news, the Phillies are AWESOME!!!!!!!!
