Thankful Thursday!

I have enjoyed reading other people's Thankful thoughts and I would love to share some of mine. There are so many things to be thankful for, but this week I am EXTRA grateful for my family & home!
Recently there was a group of people from Cedar City in a terrible plane crash, they fly to remote areas in Utah and treat patients. The plane they were in crashed shortly after takeoff with no survivors. Everything I have been told and read has shocked, and touched me. There were two families that lost 2 people. A Father and son, and a Father and Daughter. One young man's wife is expecting their first child, a 20 year old girl got engaged the night before. Another young mom left a 2 and 5 year old with her husband who I went to highschool with(my heart is broken for him). They all left behind family's and friends.
I have cried with my mom over the phone for the loss of her and her sister's good friend Val, and all the other people that have gone to a better place in Heaven with our Father.
It has made me really think about what is important. You never know what might happen. I do not want to imagine the pain they feel. I am so thankful for the comforting spirit that will be with all these people in there time of need!!!
I admit I feel frustrated with things in my life, but when things like this happen it really puts everything into perspective!

Thank you for your beautiful thoughts, life is so very fragile, we all need to take every chance we can to show and express our love to others, we never know what is around the corner. I love you so very much Wyndee, I was blessed with a beautiful daughter and friend.

Oh Wyndee that makes me so sad for all of you and all of them. I looked at the pictures and so many of the faces looked familiar though I don't know why. It's always a hard but important reminder to be reminded of life's fragility and the fraility of our bonds.
