Wanting to disconnect
So after spending several lovely days with limited emails, blogs, facebook, and never carrying my phone I was not thrilled to come back to reality. In fact, I was loving being disconnected from the world. As I got off the plane last night I got a phone call from my dad....never a good sign at one in the morning. Our really good family friends from my home ward last their mom to cancer last semester. It was a really difficult experience for everyone and it has been painful to watch this amazing family struggle to make sense of this lose. So when my dad called last night and mentioned this family I knew things could not be good. A member of this family has just lost her two month old baby to SIDS (to make matters worse this is their first child after years of fertility problems and treatments). All I could think was "Seriously Heavenly Father? Like for real? Could you please cut them some slack! Don't you think this is just a tad excessive?" I trust in our Father in Heaven, but I tend to be one of those people that says "I will do this but if anything else is possible I would totally be down!" So after a week of limited contact with the outside world all I can say after this whole thing is....... Can I just disconnect for a little while longer?
