it's been a long day. Ryn said it best with "there are no words." but in true Kelly-style, i feel the need to fumble around with sentances, even though none will suffice, in hopes that somehow it will bring some semblance of something - just not sure it works that way...
the night before last night we lost a dear friend, someone that both James and Ryn have known for most of their lives. Rick Faulkner died on Monday night, and leaves behind a beautiful fiance and baby son.
there is nothing i can say really, so i'm not gonna try and talk about what his life meant, or how they will live on in his absence, or that his memory will bring honor to his son and fiance... i feel drawn to say the cliche things, "he was so young", "it doesn't seem fair", "why would God do this?", but instead my mind keeps getting pushed toward the beauty of life and how precious every moment is. what i want to focus on right now is thankfulness - for a life that was cut short, but how those who are left still have time to love.
be thankful for what you have, let parting words you say to family and friends always carry the flavor of love, and do not take your life for granted.
prayers and blessings to Rick's family and friends - he is a wonderful man...
