Elizabeth died one year ago today. I almost sent her parents a “thinking of you” card, but I didn’t. Wasn’t sure what to say. As always I try to avoid awkward situations. I didn’t know Elizabeth very well. I only knew her briefly. Elizabeth was here for some reason. If it was give her friends a Christian example, to make them live more righteous lives, then so be it. Somehow I think some of the kids in Scottsville are balancing on the fence, trying to be in the world, while at the same time fooling their parents into thinking they’re angels. At times I don’t know how they’ll turn out. Maybe they’ll remember Elizabeth’s example when the time comes.
You’ll notice Elizabeth’s picture was reduced 35% on the front page. Somehow I think it might be time to move on. Elizabeth wouldn’t have wanted us constantly reminded of death. Rather we should live for life. Live each day as a gift from God. Time to move on and look toward the future.
