Long time, no post...

Thank you, my friends, who have come back to see if I have posted at all. It has been some time, hasn't it? Our lives have been so consumed lately that I have not taken the time to post anything, and for that, I am sorry. I do enjoy keeping you all "posted" on all the happenings in our lives, and I was just in a complete slump. Home life, school life, kids, and just plain ole' ordinary "stuff" has bogged me down. But one thing in particular has been heavy on my chest, and I have just not felt like posting.

Almost 2 weeks ago, a terrible tragedy happened. A car accident that took a small, innocent life. My sister in law's, brother's family was involved. To make a very long story short, this tragedy took the life of little Lewis Ward, 4 mos. His mom and sister were in grave condition until quite recently. Thankfully, Carrie, the mom and driver of the car that was hit, was released from the hospital this week. Her injuries are still severe (broken pelvis, broken back, lung injury, internal bleeding), but she wanted to be near her 4 year old daughter's side who was in a nearby Children's hopsital in critical condition. Her injuries are still very severe and your prayers are appreciated. She is in an induced coma at this time, yet, and her brian to skull pressure is an issue that they are trying to get resolved. She is a very injured little girl, and I ask that you pray for little Libby. Not in the vehicle were Matthew, the dad, and Lincoln, their 2 year old. I ask for prayer for them as well, and they prepare to deal with the loss of their son and brother, and try to manage the everyday "stuff" that will all seem so different now. My heart and mind have been completely consumed and just worried for so many dimensions for this beautiful family. So, I apologize for the lack of posts, and I ask you to please pray for the Ward family tonight. I know that it has made me squeeze my own loved ones just a tad bit tighter......I thank you.
