By The Numbers

Forty Percent....Gone.

If I break it down by the numbers that is my loss so far.  Five  kids, two gone. Forty percent of my posterity gone.

I have always been a numbers person and in the generations of time this is the lasting effect.  No matter how I try to intellectually, spiritually, or emotionally justify Jeff's death, this is the number that keeps boiling up to the surface.

I am truly grateful for all of the prayers, thoughts, flowers, favors, cards and rides for Joe sent my way.  I wish I wasn't the type of person who has to do the math.
