What a sad day
I feel guilty as I look at the tv and see the devistation in Japan. How can I continue to feel sad and left out of life when I still have mine? When I still have my health and my children and family close by?
Today I finally went and picked up Jeff's ashes. I have put it off for 2 months. I just didn't want the finality of it all. Knowing that bringing his ashes home meant that this was the only way he would ever come home to me again. I sat at my computer in our family room, his favorite room, and opened the box. And cried. How can this be the only way? Doesn't seem fair.
And then I turn on the tv and see all of the destruction and death. And what is still to come. Some of the deaths are still unknown and I suppose some will never be known. I pray that these people and their country can find some peace as the days and months go by. I know that this is a country that not many have even heard God's name. But my prayers are that HE will reach down and touch them and bring some kind of peace to their hearts. We all know that deep hurt of loss they must be feeling.
I decided today that I will try to start finding the "happy" in each day.
