Reevaluate
I have spent all day celebrating because I'm done with all of my tests and papers for the next few weeks. My bronchitis is going away, I had nothing to do tonight, and I'm going to Chicago this weekend. Life was good.
And then I found out my favorite campers' mother passed away from cancer yesterday. By the end of one summer with these kids they feel like your own. I would step in front of any car to save them and I would hurt anyone that tried to hurt them. By the end of two summers they legitimately feel like part of your family. I've been there for four summers and I love all of those kids. I miss them when we aren't in camp and I would literally do absolutely anything for them. Some of them especially touch your heart and this family did that for me. Twin little boys and a beautiful young lady. The boys are too young to truly understand and the girl is going to have to be a little woman now. Their lives are going to change drastically and forever. Life is not fair and God allows things to happen that we cannot ever hope to understand. I know that everything happens for a reason, life happens like it's supposed to happen, but these kids have such a tough road. I can't imagine dealing with this at 23, these kids are 6 and 10. All I want to do right now is hug them and tell them it will all be ok...
