not so much

What do you do when someone you love loses someone they love? What do you do when you lose someone you love? These are two questions I've had to face this week. What do I do? How can I help? I can't. All I can do is say, "Hey, I'm here for you." "Please talk to me, I'm a great listener." "I want to help." but there is nothing that I can do. I can't force them to talk, but I suppose the comfort of knowing someone is there is enough. I don't know. I am currently facing another death in the family, Aunt Marie. The craziest thing to me is how I just saw Aunt Marie the other day. How I was at the same party as Cristina the night before she passed. It's amazing how quickly things can change. Aunt Marie, in her late 80s, and Cristina, still in her teens. God works in mysterious ways. I've learned, through life, to "let go and let God." Those who know me already know, when seeking advice, that one piece of my advice will be to let go and let God. It's in His hands. I love Aunt Marie and I know how hard it must be for my grandmother, it is unfathomable to me - losing a sister. All I can do is thank God for allowing me to have Aunt Marie in my life. It's just so hard when you can still hear that person's voice, you can still picture that smile, feel their touch. It's hard.
Anyways, I enjoyed my Saturday until the night, so so far so good with football. Tailgating at 8am IS great and for all you lazy people who can't get out there that early... sucks for you!
