Spirit in the Sky

While today, July 4, is supposed to be a happy day, let's pause to remember those in pain. I found this message today on the Facebook page dedicated to the memory of Skyler Kauffman, the young girl murdered weeks before her 10th birthday. The message was from her mom, Heather Gebhard, and it is a reminder to hold our kids just a little tighter as we watch fireworks and eat hot dogs:
"Hi baby girl this my first 4th oif july without you it is going to be hard. I love you with all my heart.This is so hard all i wanna do is just cry all day long. Well baby girl you are safe in heaven from all the evil in this world. Skye baby we will meet again and mommy cant wait to see you and hold you in my arms and say that i love you"

Your a nice person for taking time to stop and remember others on a holiday.
It is not an easy thing. Two Christmases ago was the first without my daughter in law, who died in an accident.
Holidays in my family are never the same. I don't want to take away any enjoyment from other people but it would be nice if they thought of someone other than their own selves while they had a good time.
Thank you again.
