In the Blink of An Eye

There are four families that we have become close with over the past school year, and just as summer was beginning the five of us were just gearing up to make it a summer to remember.

On Saturday Ethan's friend Grace's family was in a major car accident just outside of Seattle, Washington.  Last night, Heavenly Father called home Grace's 8 year old brother, Owen.  Our hearts are broken for this amazing family.  We truly are blessed to have known this sweet boy and have his family part of our lives.

I struggled with how to tell Ethan.  He got very quiet and pale, I thought he was going to cry but he asked to just go to his room.  I think he needed to process alone.  Trevor and I were crying and here is our 6 year old going to have a moment to himself.  When he came out of his room he said, "Gracie must be so sad. When will she be home, I want to see her as soon as she comes home."  It took all of my strength to not grab him and cry.

I write this because Tami, Harold & Gracie are in our thoughts and prayers, and we are here for them in any capacity they need.  We love them and have been truly touched by their involvement in our lives.  We love you guys.

Please keep this amazing family in your thoughts and prayers.
