Our Suffering

Last week on Tuesday morning I received a phone call that one of my family members had died. He leaves behind his wife, an 18 month old and a three year old. He was 21 an amazing husband, father and friend. I am deeply saddened and my entire family is suffering. Jorge worked two jobs to support his wife and kids. That day I realized that our way of life is so fast paced we sometimes failed to spend time together with our loved ones. Twenty-five years ago my father died in a similar car accident when I was four months old. My family and my mother sixteen at the time suffered very much. Little did we know that 25 years later Jorge would die in a similar situation. A car crash kills a young dad and this tragedy once again brings my family together.

  1. Mable,
    So very sorry to hear about your loss this week. Sometimes it is hard to go on. You want to just pull the covers over your head and cry, but we just can't do that. I pray your family will gain strength from this tragedy. Much Love,
    Nancy

  3. Mabel,

    I am sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my brother 5 years ago. He was shot in his car while driving. I wish I could say it gets easier,but for myself, it has not.

    It is hard to think that life still goes. But it does.

    My prayers and blessings to your family.

    Theresa
