Katherine Lord

When I wrote my last blog, the man whom Katherine called her rock, was alive. As I write this one, I am sadden to say that this same man is not. I don't know all the details, what I do know is that Katherine and I have gotten to know one another really well in the last couple of months. And she praised him in every way she could. It showed that her dad was her rock. I have never met Katherine's dad, but I know he's an amazing person just by who Katherine is today. My heart breaks for Katherine because I don't ever want any of my friends to be in that much pain. I cried when I heard the news. I was walking towards the University Campus Center and when a friend of mine texted me and told me the news, my knees literally gave out. My friend who was with me had to catch me to keep me from breaking my knees. I can't say I know exactly what she's going through, but I know I do to an extent. I am lucky to say that I still have my father.
Today didn't start as a good day anyways. I was late to class, my professor was 20 minutes late, people were getting in my way, and I was getting agitated very easily. I thought I was on top of the world when I was told that I was going to be Writer of the Week in the West Georgian, but I was oh so very horribly wrong. And I'm not saying that to be selfish, I'm just saying that last week, this was a HUGE deal to me. And now it seems like it's nothing compared to this. And it really is no big thing anymore. I know I always say that everything happens for a reason, but I'm trying really to understand God's reason for this. Katherine is only 20something. She JUST graduated from college this past summer. If there was anytime that she is going to really need her dad and family, it's now. My heart really does break for Katherine because I know that pain of losing someone so close to me. And I hate that she has to go through at so young an age. If you read this, I ask that you please please PLEASE keep Katherine Lord and her family in your prayers, especially Katherine's mom.
I feel like anything else I say that is not related to this is insignificant, so I will save that for another blog.
Katherine, if you are reading this, I love you more than you could know. I am praying for you and your family.
