Something is really bothering me.....

Sorry if I bore ya but just want to get this off my chest......... A great friend, builder, fabricator, machinist and all around great guy passed away a few years back, his name was Bean. Everyone took this very hard, especially his Mom (Dee) now a great friend of mine.

Almost a year later to the day another great guy and mentor for Bean, Jimmy (his step Dad) passed away. He was heart broken at the loss of his son and friend, Bean. Everyone took Jimmy's passing hard and were in shock of this families tragedy, especially Jimmy's wife, Dee.

This Sunday another tragedy occured. "Boog" Bobby a great family man and father and the husband to Theresa passed away. A very tragic event that the whole community mourns, especially Boog's children, his wife Theresa and Theresa's Mom, Dee!

I am a great believer and I know God has a plan for us all but after a sleepless night I honestly can say I cannot figure this one out. How much tragedy, how much loss and hurt must this family endure?

These people, this family and Dee are fantastic people, the epitome of the perfect family and human beings, yet they face so much. I cant fathom what they have been through and I just cannot grasp the logic here. They are a great close family and indeed very positive great people, warm and passionate. Yet face tragedy after tragedy.

I am not asking for a reply here, just having a hard time grasping this and understanding the hurt. My heart bleeds for my friend Dee and her daughter Theresa.

Maybe sometime I will understand it, maybe not.....

Please Keep Dee , Theresa and thier family in your thoughts and prayers.

God Bless.

Will do Kev.......

sometimes there just are no good reasons.......

we just need to remember to make each day count and love those we are with and enjoy them! Often times our time is too short for our liking.... Tell those you love that you love them often...... being human is always fatal.....

We all face tragedy in our lives. Sometimes you go for years without it then all of sudden it seems everytime you turn around it's hitting you right in the face. It tests your faith, your spirit and you endurance. Will keep your freind Dee in my prayers and hope she goes many more years before she has to endure anymore.

Prayers go out to the family for sure and to you Kev! I don't have any great truths here, but I believe in my heart that God will not put more on you than he knows you can endure and when God takes one of his home his reasoning is beyond what we can understand. I believe rather than letting someone suffer that God will bring them home to a place where they will never suffer again. Its the only way at least my mind can make sense of it all and what I believe the Bible tells us.

I've never been able to understand why the world can be so screwy, or why when I was such a total screw up for half my life I got a 2nd chance but I figure the higher power has a reason and coincidence is gods way of talkin to you.I am also continually amazed how strong people can be when the worse happens in their life like your friend.Take care man.

Kev, Sorry about the hand your friend Dee has been delt. I agree with ya God does have a plan for all of us. 6 yrs ago my bro-inlaw (30) passed on super bowl Sun in a sled accident, two months later his step-dad (bub) passed at 47. Both deeply affected my son especially his G-fathers passing, still does today & probley will for the rest of his life. Do i know why this kind of stuff happens ?? No. But i believe it is to blaze a trail for loved ones to follow.
Prayers going out for you & Dee's family

Man, that is a shock, it has been a while since I have seen anyone from Hartsville, the economy is hitting TN really hard, as it is everywhere. I have not been able to catch anyone up there on the phone in weeks, and just didn't know about boog.
Condolences and my prayers are up for that family, as well as for you and yours Kevin.

Hey Willis, I was just stunned when Dee told me about Boog, I still have a hard time comprehending what that poor family has been through.
