I’m thankful:

That Lauren wasn’t killed by a drunk driver and I had to attend a trial and see pictures of her mangled body.

I’m thankful:

She didn’t have to live through a rape before dying.

I’m thankful:

We did not have to search for a body after an abduction.

I’m thankful:

She didn’t have to make a choice of jumping from a tall building or being burned to death.

I’m thankful:

She didn’t have to endure other agonizing, horrific ways to die.

I’m thankful:

She hit her head, was unconscious and didn’t know she would die.

I’m thankful:

She knew her Lord and Savior and now resides in His presence.

I’m also so very thankful:

I have only buried one child and I still have a living child!!
