What a roller coaster weekend we had. I will start with the bad news first. I hate to end on a negative note.
My youngest son lost a friend the other night. He fell from a building and died. He was only 20 years old. I'm so sad for his family. I couldn't sleep thinking about it. I just don't know how I could handle it. I tried to tell my son this is why we worry so much and they say, don't worry, I'll be fine.
The good news is that my oldest got engaged on Halloween! He had a concert and proposed to his girlfriend during the show. She gladly accepted! They don't have a date. I think they'll have along engagement. We are so happy to have her become a part of our family. They came to dinner last night to celebrate but it was not as happy as it could have been because of the sad news.
I didn't get any photos but they said they should have some of the show. I told my son he HAD to get some and to tell the photographers his mom HAD to do a scrapbook layout! LOL
CONGRATULATIONS! I can't WAIT to see pics? HINT HINT?
ReplyDeleteSuch a sad note. Prayers to all around the family
I'm sorry to hear about your son's friend. I can't imagine it from the perspective of a parent, but I do remember the first time I lost a peer. It's the first time you really have to face that your youth does not make you invincible.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your good news though! How exciting!
Oh Michelle,
ReplyDeleteThat is too bad about your son's friend. I think my sister knows his family, my mother told me the same story this morning.
I am happy for your oldest son though!
