the beginning of my day was just like any other, but what i didnt know was this say was going to take me for a roller coaster ride...
after awaking by myself before the alarm this morning, i layed in bed wondering why god would do this to me? but what i really didnt know is that what i want is not really what god wants... my day was off to a wondering start and i was ready for whatever else was to come... or so i thought...
in the middle of my Public Speaking class, i received a phone call from my mom... who NEVER calls when im in class so i knew something was up.. sure enough, i call her back and to my surprise my mom had spoken to my real father today only to find out that my youngest cousin died in his sleep.. at the mere age of 13 weeks Bryce Phillip Mitchell was taken from our family, our hands, and our earth.
god really does work in mysterious ways... taking bryce from a family of Catholic Missionaries that are closer to god than any other people i know... my aunt colleen did nothing but love the LORD, her boys, and our family.
i heard it all today; "god only gives you what you can handle" "your plan isnt gods plan" "bad things happen to good people" "this is how it is suppose to be" "this is a sign" whatever it is... I DONT CARE!
its not fair that a beautiful baby boy be taken from us soo soon. who knows he could have been a future president, found the cure for cancer, a father, but we will never know what he would have been because he isn't here with us anymore
yes, this is a mitchell/connell baby, and no i have never seen him or had the honor to hold him, but he is still a part of my family and because of this there are so many broken hearts around me i find it rather hard to express my honest thoughts...
for now, just know that i am dealing with this situation the best i can, but more importantly we will get through this, we've done it before so we can do it again...
RIP Bryce Phillip Mitchell, you are loved by more than those who held you...
