I don't know how many of you realized I had depression in the 7th grade, but I did, (It's being taken care of now, thanks to modern day meds.) and I had a psychiatrist named Reuben Stoltzfus. (Well, Reuben's actually his middle name, but that's what he went by.) I don't know if any of you know Rose Shenk (She taught at IMS a few years ago...), but that was his wife, and I found out today that he died in a car accident on Tuesday. I didn't know him super well, but he helped me with my problems, and I'm just kind of hurting right now. Not really even for my own sake. See, he left behind a wife, and 4 sons, ages ranging from 1-7. I feel so bad for them right now. I know that God has a plan for everything, but I just don't understand why he would take away a father from his family that was just beginning to grow up. (Don't think I'm angry at God or anything, I just don't understand why he lets certain stuff happen) Please pray for them, if you think about it, as they will be having a rough transition. And for me as well. I'm just having a rough time making sense of things, when there really is no way to make sense of them. 2 people I know have been taken away from me in the past 3 1/2 months. Reuben, and Andrew. I still can't believe Andrew's gone. I will always remember the Christmas grab bags where he always got the dumbest thing put in... It was always funny, but I always felt horrible that he never got anything actually useful. Gosh, I miss him. Anyways... I might update later when I'm in a better mood. Love you all.
