I AM Blessed, part 2

Yesterday, I came to school, semi-refreshed and almost ready to face the rest of the school year. As I always do, I checked my email as soon as I got here. There were all the typical emails....DMC/Suspension/DHall lists, announcements, etc. But one email messge grabbed hold of my heart and held it tight all day long......

One of my teacher friends lost her husband at the very young age of 38. He'd had a massive heart attack. Earlier in the day, as he was having chest pains, he went to his regular dr who ran an EKG and it came back normal. Less than 24 hours later, he was dead. He left 2 small children, ages 3 and 7.

I am devastated. It's all I can think about.....his young life wiped out in a speck of time, leaving a young widow and 2 small kids.....


It makes me thankful for what I have.....for my wonderful husband. I can't imagine my life without him. He's the first person I see each morning and the last one I talk to at night. He's the first person with whom I want to share news, both good and bad. When I have a bad day, he's the one I turn to for a smile and a hug. God gave me someone extra special when he sent this man into my life.

Yes, indeed, I AM blessed.
