Life Goes On... even when it hurts.

   It's painful to imagine, having to lose the person you depend on most. Even harder to imagine if you share every part of your life with this person - your spouse - including the beautiful children you have created together. The thought of losing Rob is painful and it's just that, a thought.

   Now, imagine if you had two beautiful children - whom may have come in a untimely matter but are so very much special, as all children are! Imagine that you managed to survive a high school pregnancy, and a young marriage and you've made it - at just 20 years old you have a husband, two little girls, a son on the way , a new house and both are in jobs that you love - how great. Now imagine it being pulled away from you in a flash. It's not fair - I think that has gone through my head about A MILLION times in the last four months.
   My sweet baby cousin Melisa went through this - she's only 20, and has been through HELL. But she is STRONG, stronger than I think I could ever be in her shoes. Since that fateful day in September she has had to suffer though her 2nd wedding anniversary, her husband's 21st birthday, a Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the birth of her son - without her husband at her side. Fletcher was killed by injuries from a four wheeler accident and ripped from this earth away from the people that loved him and he loved back. It's tragic and as I said - it's SO NOT FAIR! . . . My sweet Melisa has an amazing family - on all sides of her life - she's supported and man she is TOUGH! I love that girl - two days before Christmas her first son, Karson Fletcher made his debut into the world to join his Mama and two big sisters and HE IS BEAUTIFUL!! Oh man, and TINY!! A true miracle - he is amazing. :) Melisa let me take some picture of him and i hope to take more! I love it - baby pics are a challenge but I hope to get some good ones! Anyway, thought I'd share - I love you Melisa and your sweet babies...
