I just found out a family friend had past away. She was two years younger than me. We grew up together. I remember tap dancing through the halls at church in our Sunday dresses. I remember gossiping about boys. I remember at youth group softball games we would hide out in the outfield hoping the ball wouldn't come to us. I remember passing notes during church. I remember her laugh. I remember all the New Year's Eves we spent together.
She was too young to die. Yet God never promised us forever. Life is too short. Mortality is all too real today. My heart is breaking for her family today. All I can do is pray for those who loved and knew her, that God would bring them peace and comfort during this difficult time. Life is just too short.

There are never words that make moments like this better.
But God had a reason... and I'm thankful for the hope that comes in that belief.
