Prayers PLEASE!!!!!

We are very sad at our house. You see

we received a phone call yesterday

afternoon from the woman who

is standing in the picture above.

She called to tell us that her son

her son had passed away suddenly!

He is sitting with the cap on in the

picture. (This pic was taken several

years ago. The other woman in the pic

her Mom who she lost in '07.

Kyle was celebrating his birthday when

something went wrong and he passed

away. We don't have any details other

than that the funeral is this Saturday in

Camdenton, MO.

Cindy and I have been friends FOREVER,

we were raised in the same church, went

through school together and spent time

at each others houses due to our Mom's

knowing each other. :) I went to college

and Cindy got married. Kyle was born

a couple of years later. He was

everything Cindy. Cindy's parents retired

to the lake and her marriage had dissolved

so off to the lake she and Kyle went and

they have been there ever since.

As I said earlier Cindy's Mom passed away

in "07 and her Dad several years before

that. This was a very close knit family and

they have been torn apart bit by bit. Being

so far from her is hard especially when she

is going through this kind of thing. Cindy is

tough and she'll get passed this too, but it

will be hard due to the fact that she is now

by herself--she has a bunch of friends but

it's not like having your family around.

Now that I've have rambled on and on, I am

asking for prayers for this woman and her

lost family.

Bloggers are great about passing the prayers

and I know I can count on you for this.

I'll be in and out as I will be getting us ready

to leave town on Friday so we can be in

Camdenton for the funeral service on

Saturday.

Thanks for bearing with me through this

post and the prayers for my friend.

Friends are the cream in the cupcakes of life

Webster's Dictionary defines a friend as "one attached to another by affection or esteem." My definition of a friend is--someone who is there for you as much as they can be. Mr. Ken and I have been blessed with many friends through out ours lives. As a couple we share some and don't share others. Just because we don't know some as well. Over the past few years both of us have had the opportunity to reconnect with friends that we've lost contact with due to our busy lives. It's very easy to go with the flow and lose contact of people, then one day the phone rings or you get an email and there your friend is. How lucky we are to be able to reconnect with our friends and find out what has been happening in their lives. Ken and I value our friends and enjoy staying in contact with them. Life is too short---take time to to reconnect. Enjoy the cream!!!! :) ~Keep on Dreaming~
