Emotional Morning!!

Well I have been in tears all morning!! Tyrel called me this morning to tell me that my sister-in-law Kristin's new baby she just had two days ago is having some heart problems and a specialist is coming in today to check and he may have to have surgery. Then he proceeds to tell me that his cousin's wife was just killed in a car crash. She was traveling to Idaho with all three kids and rolled the car. The children survived, but she was killed. I have been crying over it all morning. Kyler and Lyndi were married the same time as Tyrel and I and have three kids the same age as us. I didn't know them that well, but it just crushes me that Kyler now has three kids 4 and under to take care of and I just look at my three and can't imagine them not having me to raise them.It just hits so close to home that it just hit me so hard and plus I can't list all the times I travel alone with my three kids long distances.I don't know the details of the wreck, but I know when I am driving with three kids I glance back to help them a hundred times. I am so grateful for the plan of salvation and the knowledge they have, but still what a rough road they have in front of them and my many prayers are out to them.

Sheesh, did you have to put the rest of us in crying fits as well?! That is so sad! I wish there was more I could do than just keep them in my prayers. Those poor babies!
