:(

Certainly not the way I wanted to start this blog, but today Gavin went to be with our Heavenly Father. Life is so uncertain and down right scary at times, you never know what is going to happen or when one of our loved ones is going to be called home. My heart is completely broken for Stephanie, Harvey, Dylan and the rest of the Fritts/Duncan/Wilson family. There are no words to express how sorry I am this happened, yet I'm thanking God for the grace and mercy He showed during this time. I'm also thankful to be a part of the "Dry Ponds" family which means the most amazing family/community support system that anyone could ever wish for. This family has surrounded the Fritts', and oozed support in any way possible. We are there for each other, to lead a hand, and ear or whatever may be needed. It's comforting to know that support system is there if needed.

Though Stephanie and Harvey may never know it, this situation has completely opened my eyes to how fragile life is. Tonight I took Dru and Cooper to dinner, the three of us went to Captain's Galley and had a great conversation and a wonderful time together. During this dinner, I couldn't help but thank God for the many blessings I have. I have been blessed so far beyond what I will ever deserve, I am certainly not worthly but I am very greatful. I realize how much I need to slow down, I'm always on the go doing this or that. This and that isn't important, the two little boys tugging on my pants as I'm getting ready are what are important. Joyce Brothers said "When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses." I'm going to make a better effort of making those family memories for all of us.
