it takes only an instant for a tragedy to strike. i learned that this morning. i have been fortunate enough that tragedy has, up until know, left me untouched. so as sit here in shock, praying hard, harder than i have in a while i think about all those stories i have heard about tragedy and how i have been one of those "it will never happen to me". well it has and IT SUCKS. my day, week, month will be spent taking care of my family and sitting by my phone waiting for news on my dear cousin Shane. i can honestly say he is the only cousin i have truly ever had a great relationship with and i am praying he is not taken from me. so young, so talented, now can't be his time. in the midst of these thoughts and in the back of my mind however, i remember god has a plan and i know and love him for it. i don't get it but i am thankful i know.
