. for my brooke . i've mentioned her many times, and doubt i need to even tell you who she is to me . but i will, incase you don't know . brooke and i lived a few miles apart back when i was a teenager and she was 4+ . i babysat for her and her older brother, ryan, for years . through this i became close with her and her whole family . i married and moved from that home, but we still saw each other now and then, her and her family moved away and we rarely saw each other for a few years . then began making connections again during her college years . since then we've become close, in a different kind of way . she married a great guy 2 1/2 years ago, who was her perfect match . i was her personal attendant at her wedding and shot some fun 'day after' photos of her and michael in downtown chicago . brooke does photography, and we have worked together to grow our businesses into what they are now . we've had a ton of fun shoots together, as i'm sure you've seen here on the blog . her world came crashing down just over a week ago when her husband, michael, drown . my mind, heart and body have been with her this last week, and even through all the pain, there's no place i'd rather be . she seems too young to have to deal with any of this that she's going through, but He knows, and is holding her the whole way . brooke is an amazing, young woman .
. brooke has clung to this promise through all this...
My heart was broke when I heard the news too. So glad that you could be there for her Sarah.
ReplyDelete*Tears*... I love Brooke and her family SO much and there are NO words to express how I have felt the last 9 days! God is going to get her through this, I am praying for her each day as she depends on HIS strength!
