Rest in Peace Tony


God rest his soul. Tony Snow was one of the most genuinely kind people in this world. He always told the truth, always touched our souls and always made us think. It was so sad to wake up Sunday morning and hear about his passing at the young age of 53. Please pray for his soul (but I'm sure he's up in heaven now), his family, and all of the other people in this world struggling with cancer.

Also, read this story written by Mike Gallagher whose wife also just died of cancer (didn't know that until I read this story this morning). "It's awkward to tell others that your spouse has died. Everyone becomes so sad and sorry, and you just hate like heck to have to break the news to someone who hasn't heard the news. It's as if you just know that you're about to cast a pall over someone and you wish there was a way around it."


There are no words to use to describe how sad it must be as a family member to deal with these tragedies. My prayers are with them.

To everyone, please treasure every day. Love your spouses, even when they do something that aggravates you, even when they enjoy stuff that you might not enjoy (sports, theater, tv shows, etc). Just treasure your time together.
