We have been close to death too many times in the past few weeks: my mother and father will have been to four funerals by this coming Sunday.
My nine year old asked me this morning: "Is it dying season?"
No more than usual, my son. We just seem to be in the midst right now. There is much to learn from this sadness and loss, starting with patience for those we love.
I am awash.

We were very blessed to have had MJ for her last year of teaching. I'm sure S & H will always remember 5th grade fondly and forever. We have heavy hearts over here, too. She was such a great person but they must have needed her more in Heaven. I know her husband, James, welcomed her with a large embrace.
peace be with you.
