Heartbroken...

Tonight I sit here with my heart broken into a million pieces. So many questions we will never have answers to. How could someone do something so heartless?
Early this morning Heaven got a special angel. Courtney went to be home with her Mom and Jesus.
You may remember an earlier post I had about Sara Stevenson. Well, Courtney was the daughter of Sara. She also has the beautiful little Grace that I babysit when Mrs. Stevenson was to sick to take care of her.
Courtney and I really reconnected as I saw her a lot while babysitting Grace. We went to youth group together and then lost contact when we graduated, but over that summer I began to know Courtney and we became Facebook buddies. I had just chatted last week with her about what kind of camera she was getting so that she could start up her photography business she was so excited about.
Courtney was involved in a horrible crime. She was shot at her home last night by her ex-fiance. I can not imagine what good it has done to kill her. He took away a MOTHER to a beautiful little girl over something that was so petty. Poor Grace will now grow up dreading the holidays because her Mom was killed a week before. My heart breaks for the Stevensons.
I know that Courtney is in Heaven seeing her Mom again, what a blessings. But, there are so many here who just don't understand why this had to happen.
To Courtney, I will always remember you. I am so sorry that something so heartless happened to such a sweet, sweet person. You will always hold a special place in my heart. And Grace. Well, Amazing Grace will always be reminded what a wonderful mom she had. Until I see you again...
