we woke up to snow this morning. it was quite beautiful. the day quickly went down hill from there though.
we got a phone call that no one ever expects to get. a friend called. it was not good news. a very close friend of my husband's (and bean's favorite baby sitter's) little sister was murdered. yes, you read that right. her sister apparently went to the grocery store new years eve. on her way home she was attacked and stabbed to death near her apartment.
we are all numb with shock. we don't know what to do. we feel an overwhelming need to do something for our friend and her parents but we don't know what. having a family member die is always a sad thing but for them to die in that manner.... i just can't imagine how that feels.
i've prayed, it just doesn't seem like enough right now- but it is all i've got. if you have a chance please pray for her family to have the strength to get through this. i'm sure they need all the help they can get right now.
thanks....

Wow! I am so so so sorry! I will certainly pray for her family.
I will pray for her family. What a horrible way to start the new year.
That's just shocking. I'll definitely keep the family in my prayers.
Oh my goodess! That made my heart go cold. Prayers for all the family.
goosebumps, hairs standing up on the back of neck and tears in my eyes. oh my God. all my thoughts and prayers are with you and the poor girl's family!
