I sadly report a death in the family. My stepson, Scott, died suddenly while working on the 60 acres of woods surrounding his nearly finished home. He was doing what he loved, where he loved, and the death, blessedly, was instantaneous. We feel that sudden death is a good way to go, though we regret not being able to say good-bye to him, other than what we could say to his body in the funeral home. Scott was 57. We are still hoping to see him again. Kim wants one more walk in the woods with her son.
Kim and I are devastated by our loss, as is Genne’ and our whole family. I will resist the urge to be philosophical, except to say that you never know when a person’s next moment will be his or her last, so make your loving appreciation clear.
Our sympathies to the whole family and thinking of you

You’re right, of course, David. You never know when this moment may be your last. It would be wise—and loving—to remember that. I’m so sorry for you all.
ReplyDeleteLife is so fragile- it’s easy to forget that, except when it isn’t. Thinking of you and Kim.
ReplyDeleteMy sincerest condolences to you, Kim and your family for your loss. I wish for peace and comfort for you in the days ahead.
ReplyDeleteWe are sad for all of you for this life taken too soon.

Ruth and I are writing from our own home in the woods that we built 20 years ago. We wish Scott could have had at least that long to enjoy the place he loved. Rip and Ruth Sparks
ReplyDeleteDear Kim and David I am so heartbroken for your loss. Words can not come close to bringing you any peace right now but one day peace will be possible. I lost my sister not too long ago and she was 60. I saw first hand the devastation my parents experienced. I am so very sorry and may God be a comfort to you and hold you close.
