A Sad Day In Our Home

Yesterday was 4th of July, and while we celebrated Cristian's sister's wedding, we came home to find out that one of Cristian's best friends was in an accident up in Lake George and he drowned. My heart is breaking for his family. I can't imagine why God thought it was time to take him, he had so much more to do in life, get married, have children. This is so so so so sad. My friend is his girlfriend, and today is their anniversary, I think 7-8 years. My heart is so heavy for her. Last night Cristian cried so hard and so much, I never seen my husband like that. I didn't know what to do, I just held him and kept saying "I am so sorry hunny." I really don't know what to say, to think, all I know is that this really sucks, and it hurts, and I wish I could go to sleep and wake up and it all have been a dream.
