Running Toward The Pain

A few months ago tragedy struck our cousins family.Her husband of 3 years and father to a beautiful 1 year old daughter was shoot in Atlanta and killed.Camilla and Jessica had grown up together and were roommates at Tennessee.Jessica immediately threw a few things together and headed to Atlanta.Most of us would do just about anything to avoid pain but here my daughter,who turns 38 today,chose to run towards the pain.
At the hardest places in our lives we find those that really matter.Ready with a hug,or to wipe away a tear,but mainly just being there no words necessary.
Jerry,Camilla's dad,told me that Jessica was amazing as she loving cared for everyone and he didn't think they could have gotten through that time without her.God showed up that week in one of His children -Jessica .Some things in life cannot be fixed. They can only be carried.
I have never been prouder of anyone than I was of Jessica during that time. Thanks Lord for letting her be a part of our lives.
Jessica I love you

to the moon and back.Dad.
