Toone Families Story

John and I have shed tears over this story many times. We don't know these people, but they must live close to us. The funeral for these little girls will be held down the street from us tomorrow.

Doesn't it seem like most days life is one continual motion. It is almost as if we are in-human, because nothing is threatening our routine of life. Then "WHAM" an accident, a tragedy happens, and all the sudden life seems a little too real. Sometimes it doesn't have to be your own tragedy to feel the effects, and you realize once again how precious life is.

I have heard one too many stories lately of God calling one of his precious little ones home. To be watching your little ones play on Friday, having them wake up sick on Saturday morning, and gone by Saturday night. It seems unfathomable. I've said it before and I will said it again, this is not the trial I would choose if we had a choice. But something these little girls father said, really hit home. (Paraphrasing) "One of the things that is getting us through this, is that we know none of us are going through this alone. They have each other, and we have each other." Can you imagine the pain of losing two? And yet their good hearts are holding onto the fact that they have each other.

My familes heart and prayers go out to this family. God bless them and give them comfort in these hard time. I also pray that I may cherish everyday I have with my beautiful ones.
