Well...I guess God has His reasons for doing the things He does. Actually, I know he does. It's just that when someone dies for no apparent reason, I can't help but wonder why and what He's got planned.
   Yes, someone died. Someone I loved dearly. Her name was Charity Maslowski and she was one of my favorite cousins. She lived what she believed and always had a great attitude toward life even when things looked bad or just seemed to go wrong. Of course she had her bad days, we all do, but I don't remember her holding a grudge against anyone for more than a few minutes. She loved animals almost as much as she loved her boy-friend. Horses were her thing and she knew how to work with them and had a way of knowing what they needed.
  A few months ago I went down to Arizona to visit her and the rest of the family. The entire time I was down there I kept asking God why He wanted me there. I honestly had no idea why I was down there. Now I know. It was so that I could be with my family while they were happy and enjoying life as it was and to say goodbye to her, in more than one way.
  God always has His plans and they always work out for the good of those who trust in Him. It is a very sad thing that my cousin has gone on, but I see now that God knows what's right for us all.

  I love you Charity and I always will.                                        Sincerly, Gabriel T. Short
