So far from home...

Today is one of those days where I feel so incredibly far away from home. It's also one of those days that I hate being here because I cant get home to my family.

While it's not a super emergency or anything and I know my family is in great hands, it's just hard not being able to be there to comfort them when they are going through something difficult for them.

Last night, my brother called me to tell me that my mom's Sunday school school was in a car accident and they didnt know if she was going to make it or not. They were headed up to the hospital, but wanted us to pray for her and her family.

This morning I woke up and I found out that she had passed away. I dont know why but I started crying and I have felt on the verge of tears all day. I didnt know this woman, but she had a profound impact on my mom and brothers lives, as well as her church. I am also so saddened because I know this lady was there for my mother when my dad passed away and I know this must be very tough on her. Not only that, but having just lost a parent not that long ago, I feel the pain that their family must be feeling and my heart aches for them.

Of course nobody will answer their dang phones at home, so I havnt even been able to talk to my mom or brother yet:( It's driving me crazy. I'll update you when I know more.

Anyway, please be praying for the Rhodes family, and all that knew Mrs. Rhodes, as they go through this terrible loss.
