LEARNING LIFE THROUGH DEATH


It's like 6:55am. 6 days after the death of our beloved KETCHUP. see below for the story, it may be really loopy cause we were totally emo writing it. amazing what can happen just days after a death of a loved one. it's the hardest thing i think for us to go through, and i don't desire it for anyone. but the reality is that death happens. i was recently talking to one of my best friends about the whole scenario we just had gone through. he actually went through the same thing with his dog so he actually could relate to our situation which was really nice and a blessing. one of the things that was brought up was how death wasn't suppose to be. meaning, not suppose to happen. before the 'fall of man', death wasn't in the scene. well we all know what happened, eve and adam ate from the tree that God said don't. there were consequences. death. so since then we all have to deal with it. seems to me that there is a difference between some deaths then others. obviously depends if you were close the person, animal, etc or was just an aquantence. but it still is hard for someone to deal with. real hard! hardest ever!

after all that said: i wanted to shared something that i've learned through this whole experience. i know that some of you may be thinking, 'dude, kyle is whacked, it's just a dog!'. well, you have the right to say that eh. but for our little family, ketchup was like our first kid since kristy and i got married. you're not married to either one of us so you don't know. hehe.
anyway, through the death of ketchup i've been learning about LIFE. yeah, sorry, it's not sounding really deep. but what i've learned about this life on earth is that i can get really ungrateful or just let beautiful things slip by and so on. God has been really showing me a lot about that sort of things and i'm really grateful to relearn it again because LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. go watch the movie!

yes, there is more from the whole experience. but i'll share more later.

tons of love to you all!
kyle
