Loss of an American Hero

Click ~> Three knocks at the door <~ Click

A few months ago a friend of mine posted this story on Facebook. I clicked on it having no clue what it was about, and as I read her story, I was moved to tears by the loss she described and was amazed at the strength she posses.

I check in on her regularly and Mary and her family are often in my prayers. I can't even begin to imagine the pain that Mary and her children are enduring and I admire that fact that she has the strength to write it all down and share her most precious feelings. The Dudley's story is good reminder to me to slow down enough to "stop and smell the roses" and that you really can't say "I LOVE YOU" to often. Life is SO precious and you just never know when your loved ones will be taken away.
