My mom and I - Fall 1973
She has been my rock throughout my life and as I've said before I know no matter where life's road takes me, she will always be my constant.

October 1990 - Baby Shower for Big Dan
But today, I am most thankful for these precious two people.

We got word that for the 2nd time in 2 weeks, Big Dan has lost one of his classmates. The first girl passed away in a one vehicle car accident just a few miles up the road. If that wasn't disturbing enough, we found out last night that another girl in his class had just passed away in a four wheeler accident. I must say, I was so shocked and can't even tell you how sad I feel for her grandparents, parents and siblings. Our school is very small, with only about 50 in Big Dan's graduating class, so anytime anything like this happens, it is so hard on the kids and the entire community. Please remember this family when you pray.
It's no secret the love I hold for my children. Just knowing that I could lose them any day makes me want to hold on to them that much tighter.
And can I just say this......if you truly love your children, the most precious gift you can give them is the opportunity to know the Lord as their personal Savior.
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." Hebrews 9:27

Thanks for sharing... love the photos! Sorry to hear about Dan's classmates. My husband and I really don't keep up with anyone we went o school with. Our graduating class was just 650 so it was mostly all business.
Now I see why you asked me if I read your blog!! I think God is moving in a big way in the area of finances with people. People (including us...) are just WAY out of control and not being good stewards of what he has entrusted us with. Craig and I made New Years goals in reguards to finances, and then our pastor started this series. We are in AWE!
I am so sorry about the death in the school. SO very sad and also probablly my greatest fear if I'm being honest. I will pray for your family as you deal with this, and also the whole community.
Happy Birthday to your mom! Love the photos you posted!
That is so sad that your son lost two of his classmates in just two weeks! How very tragic! I graduated in a class of only 50, too, and we were like family, so I completely understand. We need to hold tightly to our children because we never know when things might change. I'll be saying a prayer for the families!
oh your mother's hair in that first picture! awesome!
I agree, everytime I hear of something like this it gives me fresh perspective on appreciating my children.
(BTW: how'd you clear your skin up?? Share the secret!) :)
