What is certain ... nothing is certain...

We woke up today feeling sad about our buddy Cooper. His loss hit home because he is a positive pup, you know?

Then we watched tv and saw the horrific shooting in Virginia of the newscasters. What wasn't disclosed was the interviewee Vicki Gardner who was rushed to surgery for gun shot wounds to her back. She is a friend of my Mom's long time school friend.

Then we go on about our day and our tiniest visitor leaves us today for medical treatment. We are really unsure of this world we live in. We try not to wear our religion on our sleeve, but we are really asking God above for peace and understanding. We try to live our lives to the fullest, with no regrets, but we have discovered while sobbing in the hospital parking lot, we have a lot of regrets. That is why brings us to "what is certain, nothing is certain"... Losing loved ones, friendships, relationships, business deals, money, opportunity, mother time, you name it we have regretted it today.

Please forgive us while we bow out of society and curl up on the couch with re-runs of Andy Griffith and listen to songs that have a sweet message.

We love our friends and we hope this madness stops...
