I pray for these families. Losing a child........no words. I can't even begin to imagine. It saddens me that the young, innocent members of our community are having to learn to cope with the deaths of one or more of their peers. This is something none of us will ever forget. I just keep picturing Josh and Tyler with their shoulder pads on...they were so little..so cute. Always smiling, well behaved little guys. They have touched so many lives in their short years with us. I pray for their sister, the sole survivor of this tragic accident. No words. (shaking my head......) I'm saddened by what she must be dealing with.....what her parents and loved ones are dealing with.
I think this is a strong message for us all.....live each day as if it was your last. Love with all that you have. And parents.......enjoy your kids while they are kids. Put down the Ipad, Iphone, Mac, whatever do-dad you have. Enjoy that stuff when the kids are at school, or asleep for the night. Spend time with them now, you may not have them tomorrow. You always hear people saying that "kids these days, it wasn't like this when I was growing up." If you want kids to be respectful, happy kids.....play with them. Talk to them. They learn from you. If you are a negative, crabby, woe is me person, then that's what your going to reproduce. Maybe someday that kid will realize they don't want to be like that anymore, but why not fix it before it's too late?
It. Starts. At. Home. Get it?
And I'm not saying that was the case that with these little boys. My Jack played football with them. Damon, Melonye, Grandpa Joe......other family members and friends......they were always there. Loving those boys, cheering them on.
