Very, very sad

Yesterday Whitley was at the library after school. A group of her friends were there waiting for one of the moms to come pick them up. After waiting a while and calls with no luck, they called one of the other moms to come get them. When they dropped off one of the girls, she went inside to find her mother's body draped over a laundry basket. Her baby asleep upstairs. The mom had no known conditions and appeared to be in good health. There was no evidence of foul play, just a very mysterious death. Whitley's friend is the oldest of four and had to make calls for someone to come and help. What a horrific thing for a young girl to have to experience. That has always been one of the worst things I could imagine happening to my family. We all know our time could come at any moment, but I don't think we really think that's going to happen. I'm sure this mom didn't expect this to be her last day either. Thankfully that baby was secure upstairs. Two things that this makes me very grateful for. One - the knowledge and testimony of eternal families and the plan of salvation. Secondly - for the scriptures that tell us to not procrastinate the day of our repentance and that today is the day to prepare to meet God. This could have happened to any one of us. Are we ready? Have we prepared? It really starts to sink in when tragedy happens so close. My prayers are with this family, they will need them.
