Tonight I Mourn.

Tonight as I crawl into bed, I'm hugging my kids tightly & thinking of a beautiful 3 year old girl I had the opportunity to meet in October as she proudly spread flowers at her uncle's wedding.  That little girl, a daughter & the niece of friends of Jeff's & mine, will be spending this Christmas in Heaven.  We heard today that she tragically passed away yesterday following what I only know to be a tragic ranching accident. 

My heart mourns for her family.  I simply can not put words to how it makes me feel.  She reminded me so much of her mommy & I can't get both their beautiful freckled faces out of my mind.  My heart is not strong enough to imagine their loss.

Dear sweet little Brenna, I pray God brings comfort & peace to your family following this tragic accident.  Please keep the Clark & Abbott familes in your prayers today & this Holiday season.  Forget the candies, the cookies & the stress of the season & please stop to hug your kids tightly.  Enjoy every moment you get with your families this this Holiday season.  I know I will be.
