I haven't gone into it much, but it's been a quiet week around the house. Christopher has been hanging at Zeke's. Cameron left on the 25th to go on a spiritual white water rafting retreat. I was going to have a nice week with Emma... Well, that is until her friend called on Sunday afternoon and asked her if she wanted to go camping Monday through Friday.
All of a sudden I was ditched. I was looking forward to having the time alone with Emma, and then I was looking forward to having some time alone. It will be quiet. No arguing. No bossing. No attitude.
On Thursday we received some devastating news. A young man that we met when he was in Cub Scouts passed away. He was 21. We're not sure, but we think it was complications of diabetes. Although he was never diagnosed as diabetic, his sugar level was 1,158 just prior to his death. Anyway, it was a sad Thursday and a sad Friday. I wanted my family home and together.
Friday evening, they were all here. The noise and commotion levels went from nothing to chaos in a matter of minutes. For once, I loved it. I didn't try to stop it. I soaked it all in, because in the blink of an eye it can be taken from you. I am so thankful to have my kids home. I can't imagine the pain the the Campbell family is experiencing. Sunday is the viewing. Monday is the funeral. It's going to be rough. Keep us all in your prayers.
