My Daddy

It is with great sorrow that I write this blog. My mom got a call from my step-mom last night that my dad had been killed in his semi yesterday morning. He apparently crossed the line and hit the trailer of another semi. His trucking buddy was unharmed as he was in the sleeper and the other semi driver was unharmed. Daddy was not wearing a seat-belt and I was told he was thrown through the windshield. An autopsy is being done and his funeral is Monday at 10:00 A.M. in Parsons Kansas. Please pray for us!

Dearest Kim,

I am so sorry you are having to endure this trial. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I understand your grief, although I know everyone grieves differently. You will remain in my prayers in the days and weeks to come. Hold onto Jesus for He will be a true source of comfort for you. Because of Jesus, Bonita Bond

Kim,

You do not know me, but I work for Michelle's Wes at NCiM in Charlotte, NC. Together, he and I are the IT Department.

I just wanted to express my sympathy to you and your family during this tragic time. It is always harder to lose a loved one at this time of year. I lost my mom just two days before Christmas several years ago, and truly Christmas will never be quite the same for me. Thanksgiving will never be quite the same for your family either.

We will be keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers in the coming days. Lean on each other and the Lord during this time and you will make it through.

Kim, I hadn't checked your blog in a few days. I was sad to read about your daddy. I love it that you still call him daddy - it's such an enduring expression. We are praying for you and Mark. - Jessica & Jonathon

Kim - I am heartbroken for you, I know how much a daddy means to a girl and would be lost without mine. Know that the Lord is holding you in His hands, to His chest, carrying you during this time. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything, even just to talk. I'm here for the next few weeks and would love to be an encouragement to you as you have been to us during this time. Always remember we love you and you, Mark and your entire family are in our prayers.

These words from Casting Crowns, 'Praise you in this Storm' have spoken to me greatly during our time in the NICU, I pray they will speak to you during this time as well. Know we're all here for you.

"And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm"
