Like a Ton of Bricks

It has hit me like a ton of bricks.  Today I am overcome with sadness.  I have been hit with the realization that life is short.  Three people are weighing on my heart today.

I was on Facebook today and I saw a post from Lucy's dad and her precious sick face as his profile picture.  It hurts.  Her parents won't be able to rock her or hear her giggle ever again.  


Later, I was at the gym with my roommate and somehow Grant came up in conversation.  I've bottled this up for awhile but I just want to bawl.  I can't believe he killed himself.  His funeral is still so fresh in my mind: His mom seeing me for the first time since it had happened and her bursting into tears saying "You were like a sister to him!"  My brother, whom I haven't seen cry in years, bawling in my arms.  Grant's friends plagued by yet another classmate dying.  I can't stop thinking about him.  The park where he killed himself used to be one of my favorite places in the world.  I have only been back once since it happened.  It's all too soon for me.  I can't stand it.

Today, also happens to be 14 months since Ashton lost his battle with cancer.  I don't know why today was the day that this has all hit me.  But it hurts.  Badly.  

I hate to end on a bad note so I'm going to tell you that Meghan and I are hosting an accent vlog linkup in the next couple of weeks.  I know several bloggers did it a year or so ago but I thought it would be fun to do!  I never did it when it came out and who doesn't love a vlog?!  If you would like the script, feel free to email me!

Cancer sucks. Dying sucks. & it sucks even more when it comes out of nowhere & parents have to bury their children!
