today is my birthday.

Today is my birthday, but I will write more about that later, along with what has been happening for the last month and half. I will post words and pictures soon, promise.

Today I want to write about Steve Trost. My friend Steve died on Wednesday. He was amazing. I worked with him for 14 years. I loved him and his sweet wife Jodi. He was a quiet source of strength in our department. He was always kind. We had many talks about our two boys who are about the same age. When I went through a painful divorce he would walk by me and grab my hand and then keep walking down the hall. I knew he cared.

I will miss him.

Although I don't know the sting of losing a loved one to heaven, I do know how hard it is to be single mom. Pray for Jodi. She's amazing too, but needs our prayers.
