An Unexpected Trip Home

A few weeks ago we heard the news that one of Landon's best friends growing up had killed himself, so we ended up making a unplanned visit to Flowell to attend the funeral. Landon and Billy had been friends since the time the were in elementary school on up through and beyond high-school. I had become acquainted with Billy as well through Landon when I was in high-school. They hadn't kept in close contact over the past few years, but Landon still considered him one of his good friends. It was one of the saddest funerals I have been to. I think it really go to Landon as well. It made us hug our kids and each other just a little bit harder that day. Hopefully he is in a better place, and away from the pain he was obviously suffering here on Earth.

The kids were of course just happy to have some extra time at Grandpa and Grandmas house and with their cousins. There was just a little bit of snow, just enough to make this cute little snowman.
