Precious Hearts.....

Hi,




In our business, we not only do repairs at our shop, we often travel to different parks and farmyards to do mobile work.


These photos depict a few different places we've been this week.

To get to these places, as fate would have it, we had to travel Highway 4, heading south. On Friday, shortly after we got back to town, as we were finishing up for the weekend, running last minute errands, we saw emergency vehicles heading down that very same road. They were heading south, traveling the same exact miles we had just traveled a mere hour before.

This highway sees a lot of traffic, especially in the summer, as it leads directly to lakes in both directions. With the long weekend stretching ahead, it was busy, even by summer standards.

The news of the accident hit town fairly quickly. Six souls gone. a singular woman in one vehicle, a young family in the other. A young family in which neither parent had yet had the chance to celebrate their thirtieth birthday. A young family with babies, 6,4 and 2 years of age.

The powers that be have begun the struggle to figure out the hows and the whys, the truth sits in the fact that no matter what the cause, the end result, sadly doesn't change.

My heart breaks for the loved ones of these precious people.

As we all travel these roads this summer, let's take extra care. Let's look out for one another. Let's be patient, attentive, careful and kind. These aren't just other vehicles on the road, these are vessels filled with loved ones held precious in the hearts of those who would be devastated at their loss.

Let's each do our part to save as many people as we can from the ravages of grief.



***************************************************

May we come to understand just how precious and fragile this life can be.
May we deeply comprehend that for a prolonged journey, there is no guarantee.

May we come to truly appreciate each and every time we get a chance to greet another sunrise.
May we find a way to be grateful, even under the turbulence of life's most stormy skies.

May we just say the "I love you's" without hesitation, give the hugs without a second thought.
May we spend the time, have the laughs, enjoy the moments, we only get one trip around, one shot.

Have a happy and safe long weekend.
