Our sweet Chloe's funeral is today.
Her autopsy showed absolutely nothing wrong it her.
They have concluded that she died of SIDS.

As those of you who have been around my blog
for very long know,
I'm really not into doing serious posts.
I like to keep things light.
Very light.
And that's how I am in real-life too.
I guess that probably stems back to my sobering experience
at the ripe age of 6 when my dad was killed
in a tragic accident at work.
I remember vividly my mom taking me
into a bedroom at my grandma's house, sitting me on
the bed to tell me that my dad was gone.
I easily recall all the stupid things people said to me
at the funeral that were supposed to ease my pain.
Like empty promises of going for a ride on
someone's horse was going to magically zap away the
sting of death.
To this day I can't walk into a florist shop and smell what is so good to others,
but a stench to me, without
being jolted back to the time when our
house was filled with flowers
that were meant to make a very young mom and her three little girls feel better.
It didn't work.
I suppose all that and more has left me with no
doubt of my own mortality.
Death became very real to me, before I even reached first grade.
And it's why serious matters tend to make me feel
very uncomfortable and vulnerable.
But as light-hearted as I almost always am,
I take so seriously our need for a savior if we want to
spend our eternity in a
place of glory.
(And not to mention an abundant life on earth!)
Heaven is real. Hell is real.We ALL will spend our eternity in one place or the other.
And though I'll save you a lengthy essay on how
the Bible has been proven historically and archeologically correct, so on and so on,
the bottom line is,
We all must do something with Jesus.Accept or deny Him.
Whether we live on this earth for 100 years...or
14 months,
it's all just a vapor compared to eternity.
I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here.
But just in case there's one person who is in doubt over where they'll
spend their
endless eternity,
I do hope that you will accept Jesus as your savior,
because we simply don't know when our lives will abruptly end.
I love you all too much to not tell you what's true.
