[revival-fire] Never thought it would happen to me!!

Most of the subjects I've posted recently have been about the many deaths that have happened here on the Hoopa Reservation.
We have so many different emotions and feelings when we hear about another person passing on.  I can't speak for everybody but, I usually say a prayer and thank God my family is safe and sound.   That hasn't been the case recently.
 
On June 2nd my nephew was coming back from Eureka which is about an hour away.  He called me at around 10 oclock pm to let me know he was on his way home.  At 12:30 am there was a knock at the door and a sheriff and two tribal police officers were there to tell me my nephew was in an accident and didn't make it.  Devastation is an understatement.  I've muddled through so far, going through all the motions and all the arrangements and all the people with good intentions.  I thank God for the most part for these people.  They kept me from coming out of shock.  But, now that it's time to move on and the shock is wearing off, I feel very sad......................................
 
I know God has a purpose and a plan for everything and everybody but, the pain dosen't get any less intense.  My nephew was only 24 years old and leaves behind two beautiful babies.  daughter 3 yrs. old and son 2 yrs. old.   I feel guilty sometimes asking the question "why"?, because I know why.  Well, at least I believe I know that God's will, will be done. 
Please God, give me the strength to know there is a bigger plan of yours in the works here.
