Such Faith from Tragedy

Our small community of Spanish Fork was rocked by a tragedy this last weekend. If you haven't heard read here and here. No we didn't know the families of the young girls, but Joe was one of the emergency responders. It has had quite an effect on our family. I have tried to be an ear for Joe but I dont fully comprehend what the scene was like or what he experienced that night. And I will spare you the gruesome details. He has had debriefing and talked with the other responders that night. Don't worry he is doing fine, just something that will take some time to get through. Myself as a mother has wondered how the mother of the sisters is doing. I could not imagine losing one child let alone 2. What pain you must be going through. Well Joe called me this morning and said check out this website kelseaandsavvy.blogspot.com. The mother of the 2 sisters has started this blog to let others understand what they are going through and to keep everyone updated. He says, but it may make you cry. So I log on, I read and of course I cry. But my first thought was wow this mother has such strength and amazing faith. Joe calls me during his lunch break and asks if I have read the blog. I answered yes and I cried. He said that he felt such a great comfort in knowing exactly how the family is doing. So thank you to the family for that. We of course are keeping the families and friends of the 3 girls in our thoughts and prayers. But I also want the emergency responders (fireman, EMT's, deputies) and train engineers and many other people that were there that night to know they are also in our thoughts and prayers. thank you for all you do honey and all you other emergency personel!
