Today I've done a lot of crying.

First, it was while reading the account of the funeral of 8-year-old Brandon, who was killed by a hit-and-run moron a few days ago. Then, later in the day, I found a story about little baby Diesel, who died from the cancer that he was being treated for. He was only four months old. And finally, when I logged on for the last time before leaving work, I read about Darlene, the lovely Tehachapi lady who recently married her sweetheart, knowing she only had a few days left before her cancer took her. She got to enjoy being married to Scott for only twelve days; she died today.

Three wonderful spirits, three lives that should have lasted far longer. My heart goes out to them and to their families. But also, I am reminded of my own sweet boy who left five years ago. I miss him so much.

Who knows...maybe, wherever Jordan is now, he has three more friends to keep him company until I can be with him.

Oh, man...crying again.

Have a loving weekend, friends. Enjoy those you love. Treasure every minute that you spend in their company. Have fun.
