Well, I've gone to write this post several times this morning but each time I end up deleting it. I wanted to write about the trivialities of getting up at 4am with a teething baby; but an hour or so after getting up I got some news about a "friendly acquaintance". That's the only way I can think to describe her. Her name is Keisha.
Here are a few details about Keisha. Keisha's husband and mine went to tech school together. She and I were the same age. We were all stationed together in Germany. She and I had a close mutual friend and we hung out on several occasions. The year Dave and I left Germany Keisha and her hubby had their fourth baby.
Keisha passed away on Tuesday. Please remember her family in your prayers. I don't know all the details but her funeral will be next week.
As I look back on this I want to delete it and start all over again. I think it's poorly written and it does her no justice at all. But I'll leave it. Today is not a day for writing eloquently. Today is a day for prayers and a day for holding on extra tight to the ones you love.
