Tonight was a sad night. Derek and were at Baskin Robbins with Parker enjoying some ice cream and quality family time since Derek has been so busy this week. And my sister calls me. Ashley's next door neighbor whom she is close to, lost her 9 year old daughter to a drowning accident today. Haprit(the mom) is Indian and doesn't know how to swim. Her daughter did not know how to swim either. They were at the lake, where they go often, and Haprit did not know about the drop off in the water. She tried to jump in and save her daughter but she couldn't. She started drowning too. No one was there. They airlifted her to the hospital but she was already gone before they even left the lake. Please pray for Haprit(not sure if that is how you spell her name). Please pray for her husband Jay and their son Avtar(sp?). I truely believe that Symaran(sp?) is in heaven. But Haprit and Jay need your prayers. Avtar does not understand what is going on at all. He thinks his sister is still in the hospital. My heart is broken for this family more than you could know. And what is worse is that my sister is in Birmingham visiting my mom and dad. I think she is coming back tomorrow to be at the funeral on Sunday.
My sister-in-law and I went to their house tonight...shortly after we found out. Haprit and Jay's Indian friends were there doing a prayer/chant and all of their heads were covered and shoes off. I am not sure what they were doing but like I said please pray for them. Thanks...

Awww, Linds! That's sooo sad! I just told Christopher, and he and I will definitely say a prayer for this family. :( I'm glad that they have a good friend like your sister, though, who I am sure will bring them a lot of comfort...but we'll definitely be praying!
