Tripp.

This past weekend, one of the TV anchors from NWA died in a car accident. I had been reading his wife's blog for a while and had obviously seen him on TV for so many years. I am just so sad for them. They have a 10 month old little girl and my heart is breaking for his wife.

It has caused me to think so many things over the past couple of days... and bottom line, life is so short. So many of the things we stress about, waste too much time talking and thinking about - just don't matter.

This week - I have definitely hugged Tripp a little tighter every day and night. I have more quickly answered his calls and texts during the day at work. I have been thinking about him even more than usual during the day when we're not together. 

I LOVE Tripp. I simply adore him and I cannot imagine living this life without him. There are so many things I look forward to experiencing with him later in life. Although we completely trust God in our plan and what he has in store for us, I'll be honest and admit that we do have "plans" for our future together. We talk what feels like ideal timing on buying a house, starting our family, etc. We have goals and plans for the next couple of years that we've talked about plenty of times. But in reality, we aren't guaranteed those days and experiences... and I worry that we forget that.

I've been thinking about and praying for Matt's (TV Anchor) wife and daughter so much this week... I cannot imagine how difficult these past couple of days have been for her, and how much harder they will probably get without her best friend by her side over the coming years. I trust that God will carry her through it and know that this is all in His plan. What a hard plan to understand, but it's HIS.

God Bless the Turner family.
