A young girl that I know. She is the daughter of one of my former pastors and sister to a kid I used to teach in Children’s church. Brittney Cooper.
She passed away last night.
If you would throw some prayers up to her family and her friends.
She was somewhere around 14…it’s too early. ugh
“We know not what we shall be, but we may be sure we shall be more, not less, than we were on earth. Our natural experiences (sensory, emotional, imaginative) are only like the drawing, like pencilled lines on flat paper. If they vanish in the risen life, they will vanish only as pencil lines vanish from the real landscape, not as a candle falme that is put out but as a candle flame which becomes invisible because someone has pulled up the blind, thrown open the shutters, and let in the blaze of the risen sun..” C.S. Lewis
You know. I just want to write a little bit more on this I guess.
Yesterday i went to my old Church and the Father and mother weren’t there…
Their smaller child, little Coop was (Micah his actual name). He looked sad, devastated, and since I used to play with him, and HATE to see any child sad I picked him up and flung him about. But he was still sad.
I gave him a hug and set him down, though he was so sad. And now in retrospect I can’t really get him out of my head and what he must be going through. My hearts absolutely crushing for him.
double ugh

wow, that IS sad. Not much you can say to make that feel better…except that she’s with Someone really awesome and I know she’s not sad. THose that are left behind have the hardest time. I will be praying for you today…and the family. ♥

I’m sorry. No words can fix that kind of hurt. I think it does help to know other people care–doesn’t make it go away, but helps some.
Glad you were there.
RYC: Yeah, Brent’s looking forward to Aidan’s arrival so that he’ll even up the score. I’m not that worried though–it’ll be a long time before he’ll be able to voice a vote.
