Death of a Friend.

 

I finally got home today after a long night of delays in Toronto and found out that while I was away a girl I grew up with from my church had passed away. She was barely 20 years old. I don’t know how she died, it sounds like doctors are trying to figure that out because she was just found deceased in her bed. 

 

It hasn’t sunk in yet that she’s gone.

 

Her family has been hit really, really hard these past few years. It doesn’t seem fair that this would happen to them now too. She has 3 sibblings and each of them has seen their fair share of heartache and turmoil.  

 

It’s a lot to take in all at once. This hit me hard, probably because I’m tired from skipping through the time zones, but also because these last few years I have been a frequent visitor at the funeral home.

 

I know that I have an awesome God. That despite the turmoil he is faithful and he is good. But it still hurts. My heart is broken for her family. I know how dark the place they were in before was, how much darker can it get?

 

Please pray for me and please, please pray for her family. For her brothers and sisters, mom and dad.

 

Thanks SO much guys.
