We're getting there

Before I even begin with my post, I want to let everyone know what your kind words did for me and the family. Reading all the comments, email, and prayers was such a tremendous help. Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart. Words cannot even say how grateful we are to have friends and family like all of you!!!

The funeral took place last week and it was the hardest thing (without a doubt) that I have ever done in my life. Their wasn't a dry eye around, even the pastor just cried and cried. The burial was very intense as well. Trent is trying so hard to pull it together but he is still having a hard time. He says that he can't even begin to think why this had to happen to our family and he is having a lot of anger in his heart. Right now we are trying to keep his faith and glory to God very high. The rest of the family is doing alright. Rachel (James wife and Kennedy's mom) is at a very low point right now and is in need of prayers. She let everyone know on Saturday that she thinks she might be pregnant. Now with the loss of her husband and daughter, she is in such a bad depression. We're all just having to take it one day at a time and keep our faith very strong.

Both James and Kennedy are buried side by side on a hill near Trent's parents home. Heaven has 2 beautiful new Angels!!!

I won't be on as much as I am normally for a little while. Its just going to take some time to get things going again.

Thank you all so much for everything!!!

If a day seems too long, take it hour by hour.
If an hour seems too long, take it minute to minute.
If a minute seems too long, talk to us. We're here.

I am sooooo sorry to hear about this lost. Last week one of my best friend's best friend was killed in a car accident in FL!!! Life is sooooo short and we must all learn to make the most of it. I hope your husband does well. I will keep him, Rachel, and the rest of his family in my prayers. You sister-in-laws hopeful baby will be the thing she will remember who amazing husband and little girl by! What has this world come to.
