    tough month

    I don't usually post much personal stuff but this month has just been too much. On August 4 I lost a former employee and dear friend to a motorcycle accident in Sturgis. The night of his visitation another friend of over 50 years passed. That same night one of my players had a stroke and the following day another friend had a stroke. On August 12 another friend had a fairly complicated surgery and she made it thru with flying colors but had some kind of reaction and she passed on the 13th. Just this morning a friend that we camped with this past weekend was called at 1:00 am and told his young son was found unresponsive in his bed.
    I am a strong believer but sometimes ya just gotta wonder. I have two wishes. One that they all rest in peace and God helps the families cope. The other that this month gets over with asap.

    Sorry to hear about all the losses but realize they are in a better place now. That is alot of loss at one time. Remember God will never give you more than you can handle. This tells me you are a very strong person with a strong belief in God.
    I'll pray for all involved in these losses. This is another sad part of getting old. Our friends and family pass or have serious health problems.

    Another way to look at it is, if Hillary wins they won't have to deal with the outcome of that.

    Wow Rock...
    Words can't fill the void you must have right now. Prayer is the best thing one can do anytime, but especially in a time of mourning.

    God Bless You Rock, and prayers for all.
    Thanks for bringing this here, we are to pray for our brethren.

    Sir, I don't think I've ever herd of this much Trama for a person to deal with in such a short period of time as what you are dealing with. all the memories with all those people to process. I feel for you, more than you may know, I just can't really get my head around your loss. God bless you, and hope you can do your best for those Familys.
