Perspective

So I have been thinking a lot about life and why people who are young are taken from us. At church, a recent gentleman passed away who is only 36. To me that seems very young to die. Sort of makes you feel and think that it is not fair that is happens. Beep and I coordinated a meal last Friday and took over items for all the family members that were up here from Australia. We talked to Ana and you can tell that she is still sort of in shock and really sad over this sudden change to her life. It made me think that I'd be absolutely devastated if Beep passed away so early into our life together. I feel really bad for Ana and hope that eventually she'll be OK and can understand the bigger picture to all of this and why it happened. It's really hard when a loved one passes away. I can't imagine how hard it would be when the love of your life passes unexpectedly.

Definitely makes you realize how precious life is. You just never know when it will be your time so hopefully we live our lives focusing on the important things like the gospel and family. I'm so grateful for my life and to have such a sweet and sensitive husband.

Sorry about your friend--way too young to die. When asked why a father would be taken from his young family when grandpa doesn't know who he is, we are told that someday we will understand. Not comforting at the moment.
